Andre Shinyashiki on soccer field

Michael Eckert is not only one of the best athletic trainers I have worked with, but throughout my time at DU, he became my friend. He was always someone I could trust with anything. From head to toe, he had the knowledge to make me recover from every single injury and prevent them from happening in the future. His proactive approach allowed me to play every single match in D1 college for 4 years straight. He is someone I continue to work with as my professional soccer career develops, and someone I am very grateful for.

Throughout my athletic career, I have yet to work with anyone who is as knowledgeable, personable, and effective as Michael. Dealing with injuries can be a difficult and frustrating process, but not with Michael. His knowledge and expertise is unmatched, but his greatest strength is his ability to connect with athletes on a personal level. In my experience, when working with Michael, not only do athletes make a full recovery, but they come out of the journey having made significant steps forward (both mentally and physically). Michael is my first choice when it comes to athletic training. I cannot say enough good things about my time with him.

Michael has been great to work with. I have gone to him from everything to injuries that have taken me away from climbing to maintenance soft tissue work to keep me feeling 100%. His knowledge of the body and the demands of the sport were instrumental to my speedy recovery.
