Way Of Champions Podcast

Keagen Hadley (@theacltherapist) is an occupational therapy doctor specializing in using psychological treatments such as acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) with his patients. As a patient and therapist, he has a deep understanding of the interventions and knows how emotional stress can interfere with rehabilitation, daily activities, and overall quality of life. As an athlete, he tore both ACLs playing college and semi-professional football. This experience made him acutely aware of the struggles associated psychologically post-ACL injury and how to overcome them with positive results. In our conversation today we discuss how psychological recovery is just as important as physically recovery, why we should throw out current timelines for recovery from major injury, and how injuries an add gasoline to other psychological/emotional issues that pre-exist the injury. This is a topic we have never devoted a full episode to before and its a very important one. Visit https://keagenhadley.com for more infor
