268 | From ACL Adversity to Comeback: The Mindset Shift You Need Right Now

from The ACL Athlete Podcast

In this episode, we sit with a quote from Duke Women's Basketball coach Kara Lawson that stopped me in my tracks and immediately made me think of every ACL athlete navigating this process. We don't get to control the length of our adversity. We get to control who we are in it. We unpack why "when will this be over?" is the wrong question to be asking, what it actually means to lock into what's real and true during ACL rehab, and how objective testing, data, and individualized programming are the film and analytics of your recovery. Whether you are in the thick of it right now, supporting someone who is, or a clinician guiding athletes through this every day, this episode is a reminder that the mindset you bring into this process is the one thing fully within your control.Here's the video link: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DU27g0tDrpP/_________Want a clear plan for your ACL rehab?1 on 1 Remote ACL Coaching is for ACLers who are tired of guessing.
