In this episode of the Brawn Body Health and Fitness Podcast, Dan is joined by William "Will" Cooledge to share part 2 (of many) of Will's ongoing ACL journey. The two share insights into Will's rehab process in addition to outlining challenges which may present themselves throughout an ACL recovery.
Will joined the Athlete Academy team after completing his Internship through Salisbury University, where obtained his bachelor's degree in Exercise Science.

Will was able to work with both Dan and Dr. James Dreese at Medstar to learn about his surgical options, including graft choices, overall rehab prognosis. After extensive pre-operative PT interventions, Will underwent a lateral meniscus repair, ACL reconstruction via patellar tendon graft, and ALL procedure by Dr. Dreese on 12/8/2022. He began his post-op rehab with Dan only 18 hours after his surgery concluded. Will has been working diligently to regain use of and restore proper function of his knee, and has decided to team up with Dan to share his journey through podcast episodes and social media posts in attempt to educate others on the post-operative recovery process and inspire those who are currently rehabbing an ACL injury.
