I sit down with Dr. Elizabeth Dahlmann, Ed.D, LAT, ATC, a Licensed Athletic Trainer with ProTeam Tactical Performance, to discuss injury prevention, recovery, and performance optimization for tactical professionals—including first responders, law enforcement, firefighters, and military.

She was also joined by her intern Brice, who serves as a police officer. His presence added valuable real-world insight into how first responders think, operate, and experience the demands of the job.

Elizabeth shares how ProTeam Tactical blends the best of sports medicine, strength & conditioning, and rehab protocols to help tactical athletes get back to work faster and safer. We explore real strategies used in professional sports, now applied to those who serve and protect.

If you're a first responder, tactical athlete, or work with tactical populations, this episode delivers actionable insights on:

Injury recovery without long-term setbacks

How to improve job performance through proactive care

Holistic approaches to rehab and performance

Building longevity in high-stress careers
