Hello and welcome to the Injured to Elite Podcast with your host me, Dr.Dave Meyer Dream Coach and Performance Physical Therapist.  Today we have Performance Physio and Strength Coach Andy McDonald on the show to talk about how we as performance experts see an injury as a massive opportunity to better yourself both on and off of the field!  Andy himself has an amazing journey continuing with his professional development across the pond coming from the UK now over here in the states.  He is a forward thinking trail blazer in the field and has his own podcast titled Inform Performance!  You are all in for a treat with the synergy you are about to get with this alliance as we both share how taking a step backwards can be a giant leap forward  and how to speed up that process!

Andy great to have you on the show today!

  1. Let’s jump into it.  After talking with you learning more of your story, I was blown away by your experience over in Kenya at EMBU altitude training camp.  Tell me about that and how it has shaped your overall view on performance.  
  2. You going through the formality of getting your physical therapy license in the states after already having been a physio in the UK, is kind of like a step backwards to take a giant leap forward, must be a humbling process. 
  3. What have you seen to be most different in the UK from the states in terms of how we manage sports related injuries?
  4. Our audience is keen on accelerating the process, especially when searching for peak performance amongst an injury.  What are some of the best hacks you have found in both your studies, and practice that we can share with our listeners?
  5. A big theme of the injured to elite podcast is to teach those out there how to be their own guide utilizing a very holistic approach, what is the state of affairs in terms of what PT programs are teaching in this regard now over at Temple University?  
  6. During our conversations you have mentioned that you see an injury as an opportunity, and In my book Injured to Elite, along with this podcast a major theme is utilizing a physical challenge as an opportunity to better your life, can you share with me how you put this into practice with your clients and patients in terms of coaching them?
