Emanuel Reyes

Emanuel Reyes is a performance coach at Alkemē Sports Rx. He holds a Bachelor of Science in Physical Education from Florida International University. He is not a physical therapist, and anything that needs a clinical evaluation goes to one of the clinic’s Doctors of Physical Therapy.

He grew up playing basketball, soccer, football and baseball. That is a useful background in a coach, because it means he has had to meet four different sets of demands from the inside rather than reading about them. A basketball player and a baseball player do not need the same hips, and a coach who has only played one game tends to write one program.

He has worked with athletes from the NFL, MLB and the UFC. His focus is sports nutrition and injury prevention, which are the two parts of training that show up last on most people’s list and matter longest. Prevention work is unglamorous by design. It is a small handful of positions, loaded properly, repeated for months, so the tissue that usually fails has already been asked to do the job before the game asks it under pressure.

Training here sits alongside rehab rather than replacing it. When something needs a clinical answer, there is a Doctor of Physical Therapy on the same floor, and the training is rewritten around their plan rather than paused indefinitely.
