In order to return to the field, physical outputs, such as strength, power, speed, range of motion requirements, and work capacity are prerequisites to reintroduction to sport. However, these physical outputs require top-down control to be effectively implemented on the field. Cognitive components like motivation, confidence, reactions, and decision-making have a direct effect on how athleticism is expressed by athletes.

Injuries are an unfortunate reality for many athletes, but the psychological impact can be just as challenging as the physical recovery. After an injury, many athletes need to attend physical therapy to recover and strengthen the injured area. But, what many athletes do not consider is that it’s just as important to recover and strengthen one’s mind after an injury before returning to sport.

One of the primary goals of physical rehabilitation after an injury is to restore an individual's prior level of function. This is especially true in sports rehabilitation for competitive athletes. Power development is a key aspect to sports performance, whether it’s generating power with a golf or baseball swing, throwing or kicking a ball, running, or jumping. Athletes of all sports and activities require some sort of power development.
