042 | Preparing for ACL Surgery - Part 3

This is part 3 of 3 for Preparing for ACL Surgery.  In this episode, we continue the conversation on how you can best optimize your initial days and stages after ACL surgery. We cover other major buckets and categories related to movement, nutrition, sleep, recovery, stress, and support. We also cover areas that are often less discussed and left for you to figure out on your own - wound management, showering, returning to driving, school, work, life, etc. I give you my own personal experiences and advice through my own 2 surgeries and of other ACL athletes going through it. We give you action-oriented steps to make sure you are set up best with principles, different equipment/products, and know you've got a plan in place to make the most of your ACL surgery and recovery. A sweet bonus at the end of this episode where I share what I see in common with athletes who have the best outcomes after ACLR and you hear a summary of 200+ real-life responses directly from ACL athletes who have gone through this process.  _________Want a clear plan for your ACL rehab?1 on 1 Remote ACL Coaching is for ACLers who are tired of guessing.
