On Wednesday night I ruptured my Achilles tendon in a soccer game.
I knew right away. Textbook. An injury I’ve studied and treated in dozens of athletes. As my teammates helped me off the field, it hit me how long this recovery would be—and how much it would impact my family, my business, and the things I love (✌️🏂).
The next morning it was clear this would require the same thing I ask of my patients every day: put in the work, trust the process, and show up consistently—for myself and those around me. This will be a 12–18 month road back to my best athletically, and I’m committed to it. Becoming my own n=1 will only deepen how I guide others through long, complex recoveries and similar diagnoses.
Grateful for my wife (home health PT) who’s making sure I’m safe—and not tripping over baby toys 😂
Huge thanks to for the assessment / boot + tape job, and to and .goodrich for helping me get connected with ortho so quickly.
I truly appreciate everyone who’s reached out with support. This community means a lot ❤️
Surgery: this week (date TBD ⏰) - stay tuned
Stay safe in the snow ❄️ Office is CLOSED tomorrow.
