A full breakdown of the ACL recovery process for hockey players — including the 5 phases of rehabilitation and return-to-play criteria.

I’ve recorded a breakdown of the mental side of ACL recovery in hockey players. The video covers fear, loss of confidence, movement automaticity, and practical steps that help you return to the ice safely. The full version of this video will be included in my full course.

I’ve added a new lesson inside the Free Course. If you’re coming back after ACL reconstruction, this is where you start. It breaks down what really needs to be in place before stepping back on the ice — physically and mentally. You’ll find it inside the Recovery Framework section.

In my first video, I shared the Top 5 mistakes after an injury. Now let’s dive into the first one — not having a clear recovery plan.

Rehab isn’t about “fixing the knee” or “strengthening the back.” Real recovery starts with regaining body control — breathing, pelvic stability, and coordination. Once the brain and body work together again, strength and speed can safely return. 💡 First comes control. Then strength. Then speed.
