A Blog for Athletes and Their Parents
In this blog, I dive into rehab’s nitty-gritty, giving you resources from an ACL protocol to how to pick an ACL graft and whether ACL injuries are preventable? – that’s from the physical therapist in me. To philosophical topics of how athletes learn new skills and how to manage the psychological aspect of sports. And what does it take to perform at the top and stay there? – that’s from the D1 athlete in me. I hope you find something useful for you and your athlete.
– Sincerely, Dr. Lana
