In Part 2 of this unique husband-and-wife ACL recovery series, we turn the mic to Carl.

Three weeks after Sarah Beth’s ACL injury, Carl found himself on the mountain with their 5-year-old—trying to help him off the lift—and tore his own ACL. What followed was a tandem ACL surgery experience, a shared rehab process, and a crash course in navigating recovery as a dad, pilot, and skier.

👟 In this episode, Carl opens up about:

What led to his injury while skiing with his young son
Why he initially progressed faster than expected post-op
The mental side of ACL rehab: fear, boundaries, and comparison
Balancing recovery with the pressure of returning to work as a pilot
How he's reverse-engineering his rehab based on job demands
Getting back to basketball, hiking, and future ski trips—safely

If you’ve ever felt unsure about your recovery timeline or wanted clarity on what’s “too much, too soon,” this episode is packed with insight—and a few mindset shifts you’ll want to hear.
