SPONSORSHIPS
Athlete Advantage Medical believes that all relationships should be mutually beneficial and because our medical practice is focused on providing examination and injury treatment to combat sport athletes, we are committed to various sponsorship opportunities that allow us to support up and coming athletes as well as seasoned veterans. Having previously competed as a professional athlete and relied upon sponsorships to pursue my passion, it is an extreme honor for me to now be able to contribute and ensure the generosity previously extended to me comes full circle to those athletes now doing the same. This page is dedicated to our athletes and sponsorships.

GYMS
Syndicate
When we first started our medical practice, some of our very first patient fighters trained at Syndicate. We are so very proud to announce that AAM is now a sponsor of Syndicate MMA. Syndicate is our first venture into sponsoring an entire gym and we are so grateful for the opportunity to be of service to all the exceptional fighters who train there. My son and I also train at this world-class facility and are a part of the Syndicate family. Thank you Coach John Wood and Momma Wood for your support and we look forward to growing together!
Xtreme Couture
Our relationship with Xtreme Couture began with our sponsorship of fighter Ty Gwerder who trains there as well as our sponsorship of Operation Knock Out, Xtreme Couture’s amateur MMA event with proceeds to benefit the Xtreme Couture G.I Foundation. As our medical practice has grown, it has offered us the opportunity to sponsor Xtreme Couture MMA. It is an honor to be associated with this world class gym and the history of fighters behind it.
