Erick Vigansky Camps

Lead Instructor - Erick Vigansky

In high school, Erick competed in basketball, volleyball, track and field, and golf. Afterwards, he went on to play basketball at Clarkson University where he earned his degree in BSc Biology, Minor Cognitive Neuroscience, Concentration in Pre-Physical Therapy.

He then headed overseas from 2007-2014 to play professionally for teams in Spain and Denmark, and post-professionally in England. From 2009-2013, Erick was the Head Physical Trainer for Haderslev Sports Academy. In addition, he was the Head Physical Trainer for the Youth Elite Sport Development and taught a BASIS Training Program that implemented coordination, basic strength, and injury reduction measures for athletes from grades 6 through 8.

While playing, Erick was consistently coaching basketball at all age and ability levels. These experiences have given Erick the unique insight into the entire process of development at the individual and team levels. The players developed would go on to compete at higher levels, whether that be for the Danish National Team or for different colleges across the United States and Canada. During this time, he also mentored coaches and developed their abilities.

Later, from 2014-2015 he worked with the Danish Basketball Senior National Teams and helped them prepare for competitions throughout Europe and in China. Later, after finishing his Master’s Degree at University of Nottingham, he interned at the Sports Injury Clinic in the fall of 2017 at the University of Nottingham where he worked with injured athletes from multiple sports to get them pain-free, move better, and back to performing at a high level.

Currently, Erick trains youth and elite athletes along the coast of Lake Michigan from Kenosha through Lake County and Chicago for Athletes On The Rise.
