258 | The 24-Hour Rule: The ACL Rehab Mindset You Need in the New Year

In this episode, we kick off the new year with one of the most important conversations in ACL rehab: your mindset. Drawing inspiration from performance coach and author Steve Magness, this episode introduces the 24-Hour Rule: a simple but powerful framework for handling both wins and setbacks during ACL recovery. Whether you’re riding the high of a milestone or navigating swelling, frustration, or doubt, this episode reframes how long you let any single moment define you. It’s not about controlling outcomes (you can’t) but about controlling the return: how you reset, refocus, and show up again. If you’re entering a new year (or any phase of rehab) and want something that actually helps your ACL rehab work, this episode is your mental reset._________Want a clear plan for your ACL rehab?1 on 1 Remote ACL Coaching is for ACLers who are tired of guessing.
