Cameron Libera

I am a Sport and Exercise Science professional with a Master’s degree in Kinesiology and a specialization in adapted physical activity. My career spans clinical rehabilitation, sport performance, and preventative health, giving me a well-rounded foundation to work with diverse populations — from athletes and youth to older adults and individuals managing chronic conditions.

My expertise includes:

Designing and implementing evidence-based training programs for strength, endurance, and performance optimization.

Developing adaptive and rehabilitative exercise strategies for injury prevention, recovery, and long-term mobility.

Applying knowledge of biomechanics, physiology, and motor control to enhance functional movement and quality of life.

I have experience in both clinical and athletic environments, with a track record of tailoring interventions to meet specific goals — whether that means peak performance, safe return-to-play, or lifelong health and independence.

I am driven by the belief that sport and exercise are powerful tools not only for performance, but also for rehabilitation, wellness, and community health. I am open to opportunities across sport science, strength & conditioning, exercise therapy, and health promotion.

Key professional experience includes:

Therapeutic Exercise & Rehabilitation – Supervisor at the Center of Achievement (California State University, Northridge), leading aquatic and land-based adapted exercise programs for individuals with disabilities, teaching group classes, designing individualized programs, and training students, caregivers, and family members.

Sport Performance Coaching – Contractor and High-Performance Coach at Advanced Sports Performance (ASP), providing athlete assessments, individualized conditioning programs, and return-to-play interventions.

Health & Fitness – Personal Trainer and Weights Facility Staff at Rhodes University Health Suite, delivering assessments, individualized training, and wellness education in fitness, nutrition, and preventative health.

Sales & Management – Area Manager (Gauteng) at Mastercare Enterprises, promoting medical equipment, growing product awareness, and building client relationships in healthcare.

Academic Teaching – Teaching Assistant at California State University, Northridge, instructing undergraduate courses in adapted therapeutic and aquatic exercise.

I also bring experience as a semi-professional rugby player and community sport facilitator, having worked in high-performance centres and led health promotion workshops such as Thrive with Diabetes and Get Active for Health (2024).

My expertise includes exercise prescription, adapted physical activity, biomechanics, motor learning, and chronic condition management. I am AED & CPR certified and trained in biomedical research ethics.
