Duke Dpt Podcast

We are joined by one of our very own Duke DPT alumni, Nick Potter, who is the Director of High Performance and Sports Science for the Duke University men’s basketball team. Nick created a system of data collection analysis and reporting to monitor athlete development in order to maximize performance. He coordinates with the athletic, medical, and coaching staffs to oversee the team’s biomechanics enhancement program and establish rehabilitation return to play protocols. In this episode you will learn: how Nick used manual therapy to set himself apart in the sports medicine world, his unique individual pathway towards his current career, working inter-professionally on the team, his “typical” day, how he stays updated on evidence based practice, how basketball specific rehab can relate to normal orthopedic rehab, and his advice to aspiring students.
