Julie was a division 1 soccer player, who had the unpleasant experience of tearing her ACL 4 times. It drove her into her career as a PT, but not without its mental battles. We are so grateful Julie opens up about experiencing anxiety and depression, which isn't always easy to talk about. She covers when she finally decided to hang her cleats up and why, times where she almost gave up, but persevered, and what she's doing now with Move Strong Physical Therapy & Just4Kicks.

Scott and I dive into his injuries, both past and present. Scott is open about how he has handled some of these challenges. He also talks about Pitching at altitude, what the pandemic was like for him & his teammates, what the Rockies organization is like and how supportive they've been and the transition from college ball to professional ball.

Scott has a lot of interesting things to say, and also is a big believer in sport psychology. Over the years he has worked with many sport psych consultants and talks about how important it is!
