A Baseball Massage Therapist
I often receive comments and e-mails asking advice on breaking into professional sports as a massage therapist. The following article profiles one person who did just that.
The San Jose Mercury News profiles Kelly Calabrese, the massage therapist for the San Diego Padres major league baseball team.
"It's brought knowledge to a lot of people that you don't have to be a man to be in professional sports," Calabrese said. "If you conduct yourself in a proper way and you're good at what you do, then you can achieve anything."
The Padres have since changed her title from massage therapist to sports therapist.
"That's one aspect of what I do and I love it, but there's so much more involved in my position than just massage therapy, and that's why we changed it to sports therapist," she said.
