255 | ACL Injuries Happen - Re-Injuries Don’t Have To: Where Your Focus Actually Matters

In this episode, we break down the recent wave of high-profile NFL ACL injuries, including Patrick Mahomes and Micah Parsons, and use them as a powerful lens to challenge how we think about why ACL injuries happen. Instead of chasing simple answers or assigning blame, we unpack the reality that ACL injuries are multifactorial, often unpredictable, and not a personal failure, even for athletes with world-class genetics, training, and resources. The conversation shifts from unproductive hindsight to where our energy actually belongs: rebuilding, reducing re-injury risk, and using the ACL journey as an opportunity to come back stronger, more resilient, and more intentional than before._________Want a clear plan for your ACL rehab?1 on 1 Remote ACL Coaching is for ACLers who are tired of guessing.
