Built by Exercise Innovation for athletes who want more than a basic comeback.
After an ACL injury, athletes are often focused on strength, mobility, and getting cleared to play again. But the mental side matters too.
Many athletes return physically ready but still hesitate, hold back, or fear getting injured again. That is why this program combines physical training progressions with mental performance tools, giving athletes a more complete path back to sport.
The body has to recover. The mind has to trust the comeback.
Structured ACL-focused training designed to improve movement quality, balance, strength, control, and sport-specific readiness.
Tools for goal setting, mental imagery, breathing, self-talk, emotional control, and confidence-building during the recovery process.
Built for athletes who want guidance, structure, and motivation as they move from recovery work toward return-to-sport preparation.
The program brings together the physical and mental pieces athletes need during ACL recovery and return-to-sport preparation.
Phase-based training to help athletes move from early foundation work toward more advanced sport-specific movement.

Fortunately, my friend turned me towards Exercise Innovation and Dave Boyer, an ATC, CSCS and Mental Performance coach right in my backyard. Since working with Coach Dave my daughter is more confident and shows increased athleticism post ACL injury. Coach Dave applies the principles of general strength into his program with progression into additional exercise for improved function through stability and balance. He works on her mental ability throughout the session while doing what he refers to as functional exercise to improve her speed and agility. I believe this program has been beneficial in her recovery both physically and mentally. I would recommend it to any athlete who is suffering from an ACL injury and wants to get back to 100%.”
