Coaching the Coach: Tony Mikla on Clinical Excellence, Mentorship, and High-Performance PT

In this solo episode of KIMEcast, Tony Mikla sits down for a freestyle Q&A—answering the most important questions aspiring and early-career physical therapists should be asking.

From what separates standout new grads, to what clinical excellence actually looks like in practice, Tony shares the mindset, habits, and strategies that define success at the highest level of sports physical therapy.

He covers:

  • Why curiosity and communication beat raw knowledge

  • What mentorship really looks like at KIME

  • The difference between treating symptoms vs. optimizing performance

  • How to build a long-term career around coaching, not protocols

  • Why now is the moment for private leaders to shape the future of the PT profession

If you're a student, a new clinician, or just trying to level up in sports performance PT—this is a masterclass in how to think, grow, and lead.
