"Coming from a landlocked country in Africa and becoming the top female Olympic swimmer in the world has been possible because of the people I surround myself with. Mike and his team from Performance Therapy have been an integral part of my lead up to my 5th Olympic Games in Rio. As an older (wiser) athlete I know what it takes to be successful and I trust Mike's experience and knowledge. Thank you for everything you have helped me with and with everything you do for other athletes."
