Sports Performance Institute of Central Florida

"I have been working with Dave for 2 years now, and in that period I have made huge strides in my pitching performance. Every time I would see him he would strive me to get stronger to achieve my full potential. I also saw him for physical therapy which has brought me back to 100% through a healthy, pain free process. I really enjoy working with him because no matter the day I always get better."

"I started working with David when I had my first total knee replacement in August of 2020. His energy, professionalism, encouragement and passion as a physical therapist were second to none. When I had a total knee replacement of my other knee in December of 2020, David was the only physical therapist I would trust to push me and pull me through the rehab. Three years after surgery, I am feeling better than I have in 20 years! In addition, having spent many hours working in David's gym, I've seen how he works with young athletes, training and challenging them to do and be their best. I would highly recommend David and Sports Performance Institute to anyone looking for rehab or sport-specific training."

"We went to see Dr. David Ogilvie at the Sports Performance Institute of Central Florida to help our son rehab a knee injury sustained while playing baseball. We chose David because he understands baseball and how it relates to the athlete’s entire body. He provided support to our son as he healed to get stronger. Not only in his knee, but developing his overall strength allowing him to push hard at his sport(s) yet preventing future injuries. David has taught him how his body worked in synch to create strength and mobility. Our son began to make the connections within his frame that resulted in improved strength and confidence. David helped make the rehab process fun and engaging while linking it to his sport(s) so he was motivated and understood how his work in the gym related to playing on the field. He developed a great connection with our son which helped him trust the process even when he was frustrated with his limitations from the injury while in recovery. He guided his recovery to various levels of exertion and play. He monitored his progress and checked on him frequently for any pain and feedback to better understand what was working and what may need to be modified for maximum benefit. David made sure he was really ready to resume playing at full sped before he was released. David’s rehab work turned into baseball specific training once he was healed. He has helped our son increase his velocity as a pitcher and his exit velocity as a hitter by better utilizing his muscles and movements. He taught him how to train these muscle groups and developed a specific workout for him that included video tutorials for better habits at home. He works on micro movements of the body and provides various levels of feedback that really resonated with our son. He uses the latest technology in a helpful way. His video reviews were so helpful for our visual learner who was often just repeating the same errors when given verbal feedback. David worked with him on proper warmups for his arm and stretches needed to stay loose. He monitored his throwing when he was coming off a rest period to help prevent injury. The list goes on and on for the wrap-around care he provides his clients. I can’t say enough great things about David. He has helped our son develop and create confidence in himself. He truly cares about his progress and overall health."

"Working with Dave, has been a game-changer in my athletic journey. Dave's expertise in pitching mechanics and unwavering dedication to injury prevention have left an undeniable mark on my performance. Under Dave's guidance, my pitching mechanics have undergone a remarkable transformation, resulting in improved on-field results. His customized training program, with a focus on muscle balance and mobility, not only increased my pitching velocity but also drastically reduced the risk of injury (as when I worked with him I sustained no injuries throughout the journey) , enabling me to focus on pitching my best and with greater confidence. Beyond his technical knowledge, Dave's ability to connect with athletes on a personal level, motivating us to overcome mental hurdles, added immeasurable value to his coaching. In short, Dave's influence has been transformative towards my athletic career, making him an invaluable asset to anyone seeking to excel in sports while staying injury-free. I am currently playing at the University of Southern Maine as a pitcher and outfielder."

"I've been a client of David's for years now. He initially guided my son through rehab and then helped him progress exponentially as a high school pitcher. David remains the perfect fit for us as a physical therapist and pitching coach - he's exceedingly knowledgable about all areas of sports performance and is always seeking new and better ways to help his athletes excel. For my son, he has been a doctor, a teacher, a coach, a mentor and simply another trusted voice that could help guide him to a brighter future. I believe David could help any athlete become better in any sport. He's the best."
