FSMS #16 - How I Rehabbed My ACL Without Surgery

In this episode of the Fight Science Made Simple podcast, Coach Adam breaks down exactly how he rehabbed a complete ACL tear without surgery—and got back to full MMA sparring in under 6 months.

You’ll learn:

• How the ACL tear happened (and the mistakes he wishes he listened to sooner)
• Why he chose rehab over surgery—and who shouldn’t follow that path
• The simple rehab approach that actually worked
• Why “basic” strength & conditioning is the real secret to injury resilience
• The biggest rehab mistake fighters make (and why braces/shortcuts don’t fix the root problem)
• The mindset framework that made the difference: faith, identity, and how you talk about your injury
• What to do during downtime so you come back better—not broken

If you’re dealing with a knee injury (or any injury) and feel stuck, scared, or unsure if you’ll ever be the same again, this episode will give you a roadmap—and a serious mindset reset.
