95. Recovering Stronger After ACL Surgery: A Candid Conversation with Drew Stone
Description
In this episode, I sit down with Drew—a passionate skier who's no stranger to injury. After tearing his ACL multiple times and navigating a current rotator cuff tear, Drew shares what it’s really like to come back from major setbacks and still pursue big goals on the mountain.
But instead of me interviewing him, we flipped the script: Drew asks me the questions he’s most curious about—from what separates pro-level recovery from everyday rehab, to how to protect your knees and meniscus long-term, and even why falling “wrong” might be the real culprit behind so many injuries.
We cover a ton, including:
- Why eccentric strength is the most overlooked piece of ski prep
- The 3-pillar system I use to help skiers prevent arthritis and re-injury
- How to train like a professional skier (even if you're not one)
- The underrated skill of falling well—and how to build better body awareness
- If stem cells, peptides, or PRP are worth it for knee injuries
- Why intensity might matter more than sets, reps, or weight
This episode is full of insights for any skier who’s dealt with injury—or just wants to ski stronger for life. Whether you’re coming back from ACL surgery or trying to stay ahead of breakdowns, this one’s for you.
