Hello and welcome everybody to the official introductory episode of the Injured to Elite Podcast with me your host Dr. David Meyer Performance Physical Therapist, and Life Coach. For those that have already listened to the first episode thus far titled Episode #1 with John Denney of the Harmony Exercise.com you may have been slightly confused by the calling of this the Harmony Exercise Podcast. This idea evolved with my close colleague, and friend John Denny who enlightened my life with the Harmony Exercise, a daily guided meditation that can be found at www.theharmonyexercise.com. John and I continue to collaborate together and mastermind many of the podcast topics as he returns as a reoccurring guest on the show which can be heard after you subscribe!

My mission is to inspire those that are going through any type of challenge whether it be physical or not, to use it as an opportunity to better you and make a transformation, living a life with intentional higher purpose. As many of my clients tell me I am quite different than a lot of traditional Physical Therapists and take a very holistic approach through the mind, body, and spirit.

In episode # 5 Tampa Bay Rays Major League Pitcher Ryan Sherriff shows how important it is to keep going even when you are on the brink of quitting!

Interview of Andy McDonald with the Inform Performance Podcast Now Completing his Doctorate in Physical Therapy at Temple University outside of Philly

Andy great to have you on the show today!

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.
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.
What have you seen to be most different in the UK from the states in terms of how we manage sports related injuries?
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?
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?
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?
