Ep 93: ACL Rehab & "I Didn't Have a Problem Going 100%, But It Was Detrimental to My Body" - Kyle's Story
FORGIVE ME, I AM STILL LEARNING THIS AUDIO EQUIPMENT - STEP BY STEP, BETTER EACH TIME. ENJOY!!
Join us today on a special episode with a very special guest, Kyle Calkins, a BJJ Black Belt & MMA Coach from West LA.
Kyle got his black belt in 2019 and coaches BJJ for MMA at Uprise MMA. In 2023, Kyle sustained a serious knee injury from a freak accident that put him in the operating room. He got ACL surgery quickly, which started his rehab journey. In this episode, Kyle discusses his lessons on the mats post-injury, key takeaways about his body during rehab, & where he is now physically & mentally. It was a pleasure to chat with him, even though my camera died from overheating LOL
This is his story.
