THE PEOPLE & PRINCIPLES THAT GOT ME HERE
Rebuilding My body
Throughout my ACL journey, I had the opportunity to work closely with incredible professionals, each with a unique philosophy that shaped my recovery in meaningful ways. Rather than following one “right” method, I learned to take the best from every approach — blending strength, structure, and self-belief. This page is a reflection of their voices, their principles, and how they helped me return not just to sport, but to myself.
LAUREN TAUGHT ME WHAT IT MEANS TO REBUILD WITH INTENTION…
With her, it wasn’t about rushing progress — it was about respecting the process. She helped me master the details, listen to my body, and trust the pace of healing. She reminded me that small progress is still progress — and that strength often shows up quietly, rep by rep.
“You don’t rush trust. You build it.”
DOUG’S APPROACH TO RECOVERY FELT LIKE UNLOCKING A NEW LEVEL OF ATHLETIC INTELLIGENCE…
He challenged me to think differently — to train my brain as much as my body. Rehab became a puzzle we solved together, using tools I’d never seen before and strategies I never expected. From cognitive distraction to cycle-aware training, Doug brought science to life in a way that made me feel seen, capable, and ahead of the curve.
“True recovery is built on trust, nuance, and constant learning. That’s how you go beyond healing and into transformation.”
