293 | The Comparison Trap Every ACL Athlete Falls Into
In this episode, we get into something that quietly shapes how almost every ACL athlete feels on any given day, even when their knee is doing exactly what it is supposed to do. It is not a workout, a graft type, or a timeline. It is something most people never notice is happening until it already has. We talk about where this actually comes from, why it hits some people harder than others, and why two people going through the exact same recovery can end up feeling completely opposite about it.
