How Sports PTs Can Elevate Elite Athletes with Michael Burton of KC Chiefs

They don't make many humans like Michael Burton. One of the most motivated, driven and focused humans on the planet, Mike plays full back for the Kansas City Chiefs. Although he is in his 8th year in the NFL, Mike was an unrecruited high school football player, but a star lacrosse player. Betting on himself, Mike walked on to the Rutgers University football team and the rest is history. In this episode Mike discusses strength and conditioning in the NFL and shares his take on a humble proposition as to how a performance staff and system should be arranged at the NFL level.     

This episode shares a behind the scenes look at what it takes to play one of the toughest positions in pro sports, as well as the role of sports PTs in formulating a performance plan for their athletes. As always, expect guidance on career paths and opportunities in the world of sports rehab!
