ACL Series: The Missing Link in ACL Rehab: Working with a Strength & Conditioning Coach, with S&C Coach, Reuben Green
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
The surgery is only the beginning. For an athlete, the real battle happens in the months of grueling work that follow, bridging the gap between "medically cleared" and "game-ready."
In this episode, we sit down with a premier Strength and Conditioning Coach to deconstruct the high-stakes journey of ACL recovery. We’re diving deep into:
- The Hand-off: When should an athlete move from the PT table to the weight room?
- The "Quad Gap": Practical strategies for rebuilding explosive power and muscle volume.
- Movement Cheats: Identifying the hidden compensations that lead to re-injury.
- The Mental Wall: How to rebuild an athlete's trust in their knee when the game is on the line.
Whether you’re an athlete in the thick of the grind or a coach refining your protocol, this is your roadmap for the long road back.
Listen in as we define what it truly takes to return to play, and stay there.
