Athletic Trainer, Head of Rehabilitation
Ryan Denihan
Ryan has a passion for optimizing an athlete’s potential and helping them excel at the sport they love. For over 20 years. Ryan has been involved in coaching, training, mentoring amateur, high school and professional athletes. His belief is that an athlete should strengthen their bodies on multiple planes.
Ryan started his love of sports as a kid growing up in the west where he lettered in football, basketball, and track. After moving to California, he discovered his love for volleyball and after two years of playing was player achieving All-area/County/CIF and was a fab 50 recruit. Ryan continued his volleyball career at California State University Northridge. During his time playing at CSUN he realized that sport specific training was vital for optimizing athlete performance.
Here at Complete Performance Center Ryan takes a very hands-on approach and provides a full circle specifically designed plan for his clients to unlock their full potential. He understands that being an athlete in today’s world isn’t a part time commitment but a full-time job. Whether you are a in 7th grade, high school, college, or competing as a professional athlete each plan needs to:
- Be result focused
- Sports science supported
- Adaptable to the client’s needs
- Injury prevention centric
“Today most athletes are one sport dominate and play that one sport all year long. And because of this I see athletes that are suffering from faulty biomechanics. This leads to increase load on joints, ligaments and muscles and will result in joint pain and injury if it is not addressed early.”
'To help minimize this we identify an individual weakness and develop a specific athlete centric plan to improve performance, biomechanics and lessen the risk of injury.'
It is this passion combined with his experience and education that make him a vital part of the CPC team. In Ryan’s free time he enjoys any outdoor activities including volleyball and hiking. But most of all he loves being a father to his 2 amazing children.
