I would like to take a moment and say thank you to my newest sponsor, Integrity Athletic Performance and Physical Therapy (IntegrityAPPT.com).

The newest service offering of Integrity Healthcare, APPT is run by Cory Carr. From the website:

Integrity Athletic Performance & Physical Therapy (IAPPT) offers athletes of every sport, age and skill level the opportunity to improve their speed, power, agility, quickness and overall conditioning. Our elite program provides the physical and mental training necessary to propel each athlete along their individual path to success.

Our mission is to craft a passion for athletic achievement that is enjoyable and attainable to all. At IAPPT we work with the mind and body to instill knowledge and confidence as well as the physical skills such as speed, strength and coordination that are essential parts of a healthy and successful athlete.

There are a number of programs that have already been rolled out. And for those of you who have not met Cory, here’s some background, again from the website:

Cory Carr, PT, CWT, has been involved with college, high school and youth athletics in southwest Missouri since he graduated from Missouri State in 1997. He is a former Division I athlete and National High School All-American. He has coached back-to-back State Championship teams for the Springfield Soccer Club and was named Missouri Coach of the Year for 2007. He holds degrees in Biomedical Science and Psychology, a Masters degree in Physical Therapy and is a Certified Weight Trainer.

I’m happy to have another sponsor to help me continue my efforts in promoting the development of soccer in the region. I’m also excited to see a new Athletic Training effort undertaken with specific experience and background in soccer. Now is the time to explore your off-season conditioning programs, especially for any kid interested chasing a college roster spot. Consider contacting Cory and his staff for information on their solutions.
