On today’s episode, I’m talking to the Las Vegas Aces’ Head Athletic Trainer and Physical Therapist Dr. Michelle Anumba about constant growth.

Michelle has spent her career working in the WNBA, wearing multiple hats as both a physical therapist and an athletic trainer. She’s able to attend to the immediate issues that athletes face while also considering the long-term rehab process. Her interest in sports medicine came from her experience rehabbing an ACL injury and thinking about what injuries could be prevented with proper education and training. Michelle’s mission is to keep her athletes healthy by figuring out what they need and learning how to address it. 

We talk about:

Creating a broader network when working in a smaller workplaceFighting back against feelings of not being good enoughKeeping an open mind and taking the best opportunities for growth
