The best PTs I have had have all been athletes themselves. They get it, and they understand your goal is to resume your sports, not just haul your groceries up to the kitchen. And I heartily agree with the hands on recommendation. They should be massaging, manipulating, using electrical stimulation or other appropriate modalities, not just turning you loose with the bands or weights (although those are important, too.)

And a good PT should “fire” you when you have made sufficient progress or when PT is not working for you.
