In this episode, I sit down with Doctor of Physical Therapy, Lars Stevenson.  Lars works closely with Justin Kavanaugh and acts as the lead Physical Therapist for AthleteHQ.  Lars has a deep fascination with the human body and its adaptability, which has shaped his career journey as he learns over the years. With a background as a strength and conditioning coach, Lars has trained athletes of all sports at all levels, from middle school all the way to the Olympic stage. Now, as a physical therapist, he focuses on helping patients and athletes alike bridge the gap between rehabilitation and peak performance. By applying a holistic approach he is able to optimize health at every level - physically, psychologically, and philosophically.

We discuss:
Lars' journey to physical therapy. 
There is “a lot more to this” and digging deeper beyond the surface level. 
How do we know to what level we have to dig?

Running experiments and managing expectations
Personality traits and the need for control
Parallels between high-level performance and general populations
The barriers that present when pushing the envelope both physically and psychologically
“I have no interest in healing you, I want to give you the tools to help yourself.” 
How do you apply in-person concepts to remote online space? 
Is there an urgency to try to be the best right away?

The hallmarks of a great mentor.
