Yes, getting really specific on sets, reps, movements, recovery protocols, supplement varietals, and sexy fitness modalities is fun. We could talk about them all day. The basics-- sleep, diet, and stress management -- will still win every time. Don't miss the forest for the trees.

Our final 'C' of returning from injury is CONFIDENCE. Nothing will help you move forward more effectively, and nothing seems harder to manufacture if you don't understand it. How can you create confidence? Where does it come from? How often do you need to work on it? What if it suddenly diappears? Let's talk about it.
