This podcast is a collection of interviews and stories of everyday coaches, the people in the deep end of their own coaching journey, wayfinding their way through practice and pedagogy. a7086fe2-bc01-49d9-8db3-9a6bd5abda76 episodic no Alex Lascu skillacqlascu@outlook.com https://feeds.redcircle.com/a7086fe2-bc01-49d9-8db3-9a6bd5abda76 no full ACLs and Uncertainty in Conversation ACLs and Uncertainty in Conversation Alex Lascu Sparked by seeing Lindsey Vonn go down in the final of the Downhill Skiing, I jumped on a call with one of my favourite people in the world in Martijn Lips - someone who will forget more about ACL rehab than I will ever know. In this episode, you'll hear our uncertainty as we grasp what we witnessed, what we noticed, and the emerging narratives that surrounded that moment and beyond - zooming out from 'the knee' and exploring what these moments mean for whole people. Complemented by a brilliant recent paper by Charlie Corsby and colleagues (2026), we have no definitive answers, only questions, and that is okay. No apologies for the giggly mess at the end of this episode, it's a little reminder that we are just everyday people, thinking out loud together.
