University of British Columbia Okanagan

Aldo has been student trainer for 3 teams (2 of which were rugby teams) prior to joining UBCO Heat Men's Rugby as their jr. trainer last year. Aldo states that the team is full of great guys who are appreciative of the work he puts in for them and the rush of running on field during the play to help the players is an experience that he wouldn’t get with any other team. He chose this team as they are a great group of guys who respect their trainers and put in work to be the best they can be.

Aldo is currently studying Human Kinetics at UBCO. He is pursuing med school or physiotherapy. Aldo is certified in HCP CPR and First-Aid. He has been trained in concussion protocols (including SCAT5) and athlete taping skills. In the off-season, Aldo works as a Physiotherapist Assistant and through his clinic, he has been trained in many other techniques for treating the athletes, most heavily in Cupping Therapy. He uses these extra skills to treat the team to the best of his abilities.

Aldo's motto is: "Never try and be the smartest person in the group, try to be the hardest working." Aldo likes this motto because he believes at the end of the day no matter how smart you are if your not able to out work the others then your brains mean little.
