Back in the day, Alicia Velez was a monster center, considered the Shaquille O'Neil of the 5th grade CYO girls basketball team. Soon thereafter, her growth spurt ended and she pivoted to more of a Ray Allen style, hanging out at the 3-point line draining buckets. Despite being vertically challenged, she has competed in organized sports throughout her life including lacrosse, AAU basketball and college rugby, where she earned the nickname "Speedy" for her elusive and crafty footwork. Despite suffering multiple injuries throughout her athletic career, Alicia continues to challenge herself physically by eating mountains for breakfast in her new home of Boulder, Colorado. She believes in the healing power of movement at any age and that our bodies are strong and resilient. Alicia has her own private therapy practice, where she serves athletes in Colorado and New York. As a psychotherapist, she is dedicated to helping instill hope and inspiration to fellow injured athletes recovering mentally from the devastating blow of injury. In addition to exercise, she enjoys live music, travel, and giving her dog belly rubs.

Go Knicks! Go Mets! Go Liberty!
