Tony Mikla and Russ Dunning use a return-to-sprint case to do more than coach movement—they deliver a powerful critique of both the performance industry and the healthcare system that supports (and often limits) it.

In this episode, they cover:

• Real-time coaching breakdowns for athletes returning to sprinting

• Why so much current rehab misses the mark on real-world performance

• What separates a great coach from a technician

• The failure of overused protocols and systems that lack context

• The real consequences of Medicare cuts and outdated insurance models

• How clinicians can lead change instead of waiting on it

It’s part sprint mechanics, part coaching masterclass, and part wake-up call to a healthcare and performance system that desperately needs to evolve.
