Do U Proteus? - Will Waterman: Head of Performance and Sports Science at Proteus Motion

February 15, 2022 • Season 2 • Episode 13

About our guest!

Today’s guest is Will Waterman, who is the Head of performance and sports science for Proteus Motion. He has been in the training industry for over 10 years in some capacity, including as a physical therapist and a strength coach. Will is also a former athlete, where he competed at a national level for olympic weightlifting, as well as cycling and triathlons.

What is Proteus?
TECHNOLOGY HAS REVOLUTIONIZED THE HEALTH & FITNESS INDUSTRY, BUT STRENGTH & POWER STILL CAN’T BE MEASURED EFFECTIVELY. WHY?

Because to measure strength and power for movements you perform in real life, you need forces in 3 dimensions.
Equipment like free weights and cable machines can only provide forces in 1 or 2 dimensions.
To unlock the next revolution in human performance and fitness technology requires a total reinvention of resistance training.

Will Waterman is currently the Head of Performance and Sports Science at Proteus Motion. Before joining Proteus, Will practiced as a sports and orthopedic-focused physical therapist for 10 years which included roles as the head physical therapist with DePaul University’s D1 Athletes in Chicago, IL, Stanford Health Care in the Bay Area, as well as running his own PT consulting business. He received his B.S. in Exercise and Sports Science from the University of Georgia in 2007 before receiving his Doctorate in Physical Therapy (DPT) from the Medical College of Georgia in 2010. Will has pursued multiple specialties including board certifications as an Orthopedic Clinical Specialist (OCS) from the American Physical Therapy Association, his Postural Restoration Certification (PRC) from the Postural Restoration Institute, a certification as an Orthopedic Manual Therapist (COMT) from the Ola Grimsby Institute, and a certification as a Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) from the National Strength and Conditioning Association.

As a self-described “body nerd”, Will has competed in numerous sports and athletic endeavors. He was a multi-sport youth athlete in Basketball, Football, Baseball, Wrestling, and Swimming. As is the case for many physical therapists, multiple injuries sparked his initial interest in physical therapy and training. During PT school, Will competed nationally in Olympic Weightlifting and more recently competed in Cycling as well as Triathlon at the national level. In addition to being a “body-nerd”, he is also a self-described “car-guy” that enjoys watching racing and taking his car to the track.

He and his wife Jean are originally from Atlanta, Georgia, and enjoy traveling during their free time.
