This episode of the podcast is with Online S&C Coach and former D1 Strength Coach, Jake Tuura.
Jake is a specialist in the rehabilitation of jumpers knee and has a number of popular online programs that focus on developing strength, size, power and vertical jump ability.
We chatted about his recent rehabilitation from an acute ankle injury and what he learned during that process. We also dove deep into the science behind patellar tendinopathy rehabilitation and how he best works to help as many people as he can.
We talked about what he misses from in-person coaching, why he transitioned to the online space and the many negatives and positives to working almost exclusively through social media.
Jake's programs can all be found over on his website jaketuura.com and you can find additional information about him through his instagram and linktree.
