The NBA Champion Golden State Warriors announced the addition of three new members of the team’s physical performance and sports medicine staff, adding Chelsea Lane as head performance therapist, Michael Irr as performance coach and therapist, and Kurtis Rayfield as physical performance coach. The new additions join Warriors Head of Physical Performance and Sports Medicine Lachlan Penfold and Athletic Trainer Drew Yoder.
Lane, who owns more than 16 years of experience as a physiotherapist, joins the Warriors from High Performance Sport New Zealand, which provides resources and support to that country’s national sports organizations and elite athletes. Most recently she served as physiotherapist for the New Zealand national track and field team at last month’s 2015 IAAF World Championships in Beijing, China.
