Become an Elite Combat Athlete | Jack Krucial - The Combat Therapist - #23

Jack Krucial is a physiotherapist, athlete, and is an injury & high performance coach to combat athletes around the world. Jack began as a professional soccer player in Australia, and recurring injuries plus a lack of trust in prescribed recovery protocols led to him searching for his own methods to rehabilitate injuries. Jack is a licensed physiotherapist, and also a high performance and injury consultant to top athletes around the world. Jack also coaches me & my business partner, as I train Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and have had some injuries in the last 2 years requiring some attention to recover from. It's been a transformational experience in helping my understanding of injuries, training, progression, and the importance of specificity in training for a sport.
