120. How Pro Skiers Handle Injuries (feat. Amie Engerbretson and Blister+)


Listen Later

On this episode, I sit down with pro skier Amie Engerbretson to discuss injury rehab—from broken fibula and MCL/meniscus issues to debilitating Morton’s neuromas—and how smart training, better decisions, and Blister+ injury insurance have shaped her comebacks. 


Amie shares candid stories (including a post-op PE scare) and exactly how she’s used Blister+ to cover MRIs, PT, surgery bills, and even complications without the usual insurance runaround.


We talk about: ✅ Why “prehab first” keeps pros on snow (strength, stability, decision-making) ✅ Amie’s tips  for overuse injuries, avalanches, and knowing when to stop skiing

 ✅ Mental game during rehab: ask for help, protect your headspace, and pace the comeback ✅ Blister+ 101: $25k per injury, reimbursement flow, what counts as an “injury,” and the need to float costs
