“I have been blessed to teach and work with Dave Gottfeld over the past 6 years. Dave enjoys working with people of all ages but he has a passion for youth athletics. He has developed cutting edge weak link conditioning programs based on the principles of applied functional science that not only improve performance but also prevent injuries. People of all ages would benefit from his service. We not only share a mentor, mentee relationship but a great friendship.”

“Dave Gottfeld has been a great addition to our staff. Dave has produced incredible results with many of our athletes. In particular, Dave has been instrumental in working with athletes who have had repetitive, or chronic injuries. Dave has an unparalleled ability to identify and correct the dysfunctional pattern that leads to injury. Through collaboration with other Washington DC student athletes. If you're ready to improve and stay in the game… You need Dave Gottfeld!!”

“Dave Gottfeld’s knowledge of anatomy and its relationship in functional movement patterns has been a breath of fresh air here at Georgetown Prep. We had integrated several of these functional movement ideas and theories into our own rehabilitation protocols particularly those involving the hip and thoracic spine. His ability to think outside the box has enabled our staff to increase the quality of care that our athletes receive. We always look forward to seeing what new approaches Dave has up his sleeve regarding the way the human body moves with in an athletic environment. His injury prevention programs have allowed us to keep our athletes on the field or court where they belong. Thanks Dave.”

 “ I started working with Dave Gottfeld the summer of my senior season at Brown University. I was recovering from a stress fracture in my leg and felt my body had plateaued. When I returned to school I improved on every lift tested. I credit my workouts with Dave for the increase. It was the first significant gain in any lift since my sophomore season. I also stayed healthy throughout the season by continuing the exercises and stretches from the summer. I was one of two people selected unanimous All Ivy. I really couldn’t have asked for a better senior season thanks for helping me.”

"Dave was an integral part in getting me ready for my upcoming MLL season. Along with addressing my flexibility in order to make me a more explosive shooter,  Dave explained the reasons behind my previous injuries. He showed me game preparation exercises to help me avoid similar injuries in the future, and be stronger in the present "
