Podcast appearances and mentions of sarah ditmars

Sarah Ditmars has combined two of her passions into a career that continues to evolve. Her first love was sports. Sarah says she played every sport growing up, and recalls when her parents, fed up with her incessant use of the recycling bins as targets, broke down and bought her a basketball net.Sarah’s other love was science, a passion that would direct her down the road of athletic therapy...as part of her kinesiology studies at Brock University in St. Catherines, Ontario.Following graduation, Sarah was hired as the athletic therapist and trainer for the Trenton Golden Hawks of the Ontario Junior Hockey League. Sarah says there were challenges being a woman in a male-dominated field, but they were put to rest quickly….and culminated in 2017 when Sarah was named the Ontario Junior Hockey League’s trainer of the year, the first-ever for a woman.Never afraid of a challenge Sarah has more recently transitioned into a new role, coaching coaches who are looking to break into the online world.

This conversation with Sarah Ditmars is... I’ll say it, RAW in the best way! She was in the midst of yet another transition out of “sport”, but this time it was her career in sport. Sarah has made waves as the head Athletic Therapist for a Jr. A men’s hockey team in Canada. However, it is time for her next step... her next chapter (similarly to leaving her sport as an athlete various emotions and reactions are tied to the transition) I am so proud of Sarah for following her heart to her next path in coaching Former and Current Athletes in Nutrition and Fitness. She even has a specifically designed program for Former Athletes! So please give her a follow on Instagram at @sarahditmars and check out her tailored programs at sarahditmarssportsperformance.com

Sarah Ditmars is a kinesiologist and physical therapist who has committed herself to also helping retired athletes feel the passion and intensity of training again even after the “glory days” are over. To boast about her accolades as a PT, Sarah was Ontario Junior Hockey League 2017 Trainer of the Year, Ontario Hockey Association 2017 Trainer of the Year, awards she received for her incredible work the last 6 years with one of Canada’s best ice-hockey farm league programs. Her work with retired athletes started after she saw so many athletes struggle once they leave their competitive sports environment. Sarah created a program to help retired female athletes find their competitive edge again. Now, it’s Sarah’s mission to help her clients rebuild confidence, regain physical strength, and really hone in on their new goals thru customized one-on-one online training programs, nutrition programming, and group training programs. In this podcast, we get real with the struggles we had with our changing body image, workouts and nutrition, and how to incorporate our much-needed athlete rituals amidst difficult social pressures we used to excuse ourselves from while we played because we had to wake up early for practice. I’m excited to share Sarah’s JOX journey with you all.
