"I try to make myself a better person every day, not just for me, but for those I encounter and work with. I always deliver 100%. I lead by example, not just talking the talk but walking it. I empower people to live better by being their own personal cheerleader: If I can believe in them, they can believe in themselves.”

Winnie Victor, ATC, NREMT, recently completed an MS in Exercise Science and Nutrition at Sacred Heart University, while serving as a graduate assistant at Sacred Heart’s Fit Health and Wellness Center.

As an athletic trainer, she combines her love for sports with her love for helping people. Winnie works with diverse populations, caring for all kinds of people and athletes before, during and after injury. She treats patients and clients as if they are her own family, because that’s what Performance is — a family.

Winnie loves staying active and taking various avenues to achieve that. She dances to mainly hip-hop, contemporary and African genres. She also enjoys and Olympic Lifting, kickboxing, yoga and hiking. When she isn’t being active, she has a passion for books (and an unnatural obsession with anything true crime related.)

      “Medicine can be very black and white, whereas each case is always blurred in the area of grey. With each injury I take all accounts of your life into perspective to help you bounce back the quickest and safest way possible.”

      Jaxon Sasala, ATC, CES, CSS, is a full-time certified athletic trainer and middle school PE teacher who specializes in corrective exercise. He is an NASM Corrective Exercise Specialist, Certified Speed Specialist, and is CPR Certified.

      While navigating his earlier years in college, Jaxon came across athletic training and knew this was his calling. Given his athletic career abruptly ended from a traumatic shoulder injury, he knew this would be a great way to “stay in the game” while helping others achieve their dreams.

      After receiving his master’s degree in rehabilitative science, Jaxon had the opportunity of working alongside top physicians at both Emory Healthcare and Columbia University Hospital. At Columbia, he was submerged in all the up-and-coming techniques for both treatment and diagnostic testing with both the athletic and lay population, while also working hand in hand with the university’s team physicians and D1 athletes.

      Jaxon is currently continuing his education and working toward his certifications in cupping and kinesiotaping techniques.

        As an athletic trainer, Harrison looks at every detail in an athletes’ routine to determine the cause of an injury.
