Ep. 8 - "I'm Gonna Be Fine" w/ Dr. Kate Sneddon

Dr. Kate Sneddon didn't choose to be diagnosed with cystic fibrosis at age 2.But she did choose to be a college athlete, run a half marathon while coughing up blood at 19, become a PT, build a practice, and dedicate her career to helping ACLers come back better than before.Kate's one of my favorite people, and not just because she's a sharp clinician with quick wit and a Long Island accent. There's something you notice when someone's been through the wringer and uses it as fuel to help others. Kate's that kind of person.In this episode we get into:What it actually looks like to grow up with a chronic illness that nobody talks about, and what that taught her about showing up when your body isn't cooperatingWhy she chose ACLers, and the parallel between her CF journey and what her athletes go throughWhy criteria beats the calendar every time in ACL rehabThe 55% stat we don't talk about enough for ACLers, and what's actually behind itThe emotional toll of your ACL patient getting reinjuredThe dope-ass testing network she's building so no other ACLer gets failed by a clinic that doesn't know how to test themAnd what to say to yourself when you're in the worst season of your lifeIf you work with ACLers, make this your next listen or Kate and I won't be mad...we'll just be disappointed.If you're going through something that's rocking your sense of who you are, Kate's got a word for you too.Find Kate: Instagram: @heliosaclproject | TikTok: @heliosaclproject | YouTube: Helios ACL ProjectLinks:Book a free consult call with me: https://calendly.com/unbreakablestrengthonline/firestarter-call-1Trying to get consistent with your own training?
