Looking to transition

For background, I currently as a director for a fairly middle of the road outpatient PT company in the southeast. Very standard outpatient population. My wife and I are looking to move in the next few years to a city where friends of mine work for a sport company that treats athletes fairly exclusively. They have been encouraging me to come and work for them for years. I mostly want to do this to transition to a younger, more dedicated and consistent population.

I am a bit apprehensive to make this move. I myself have very little athletic experience. I am a casual weight lifter and runner. I did not play sports beyond middle school, mostly due to my own limitations physically that discouraged me and landed me in PT in the first place. I do not have much experience with athletic injuries/surguries. Most all of my experience in clinic revolves around standard orthopedic PT issues. I am a sport enjoyer and enthusiast, just with minimal to no self experience or accomplishments.

I have been repeatedly told by my friends that I have the background knowledge to make it work. I worry that I will not fit in/not have the skill set to make this work in the long run.

I am mostly looking for advice regarding a transition to working in a sport clinic, any sort of research, continuing education, certifications, anything that could help me possibly make this move here soon. Anything helps!
