Today we’d like to introduce you to Sam McCrary.
Hi Sam, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
REPTD was established to address the need for access to high-quality athletic training and sports medicine services. The concept originated from our lead clinician’s early experiences as a contract athletic trainer, traveling to rural schools to provide injury clinics, evaluations, and game coverage in areas with limited resources. This experience revealed a significant need: individuals desired timely, professional care but often lacked a place to turn unless they were affiliated with a school or sports organization.
Over the years, these on-site services fostered strong relationships, built trust within the community, and underscored the importance of accessible care. This foundation ultimately led to the establishment of a permanent clinic, welcoming anyone for evaluations, treatments, or guidance, irrespective of age, background, or athletic ability.
Today, REPTD is run by skilled athletic trainers with a proven history of serving tactical units, first responders, corporate clients, schools, government entities, and club sports. Our clinicians are highly trained, versatile healthcare providers specializing in injury evaluation, prevention, rehabilitation, and return-to-function strategies. Through services such as movement assessments, hands-on manual therapy, recovery, and performance-focused care, REPTD is dedicated to enhancing human performance at every level—ensuring that expert athletic training services are available to the entire community, not just traditional athletes.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Embarking on a new venture is always a challenge. REPTD was founded with the mission of catering to a diverse array of athletes, which can be quite complex. As a team of athletic trainers with varied backgrounds, we engage in daily brainstorming sessions to enhance our support for both traditional and non-traditional athletes.
Our primary goal has always been to make our clinic accessible and centralized for those in need. This commitment drives us to continually refine our membership options, ensuring you get more value for your investment.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
An athletic trainer (AT) is a highly educated health professional who works under the supervision of a licensed physician and specializes in the care of people who are active. ATs work with active individuals of all ages and skill levels, from children to professional athletes. Athletic Trainers in Texas must hold a valid license to practice from the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation and it must be displayed where services are rendered. Athletic training encompasses the Rehabilitation, Examination, Prevention, Treatment and Diagnosis of emergent, acute or chronic injuries and medical conditions. Athletic training is recognized by the American Medical Association (AMA), Health Resources Services Administration (HRSA) and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) as an allied health care profession.
What has been the most important lesson you’ve learned along your journey?
Building a startup requires patience. While there is a natural urge to move quickly and bring everyone on board, we must remain disciplined and focus on steady, sustainable growth.
