140. Stay Healthier Longer & Recover Faster: A Performance Framework for Injuries with Coach David Joyce

David Joyce is a titan in the world of elite sport. He has worked at the highest levels of world athletics and with multiple national, world, and Olympic Champions. He's worked at two Olympic Games, with elite rugby and soccer teams, and is currently the Head of Athletic Performance with the Greater Western Sydney Giants soccer team in Sydney, Australia.

He holds masters degrees in both sports physiotherapy and strength and conditioning and teaches the Masters of Strength and Conditioning course at Edith Cowan University in Perth.

He's the main editor of two authoritative books on athletic performance and injury risk mitigation, the first is Sports Injury Prevention and Recovery: Integrating Medicine and Science for Performance Solutions and the second is High-Performance Training for Sports: The Authoritative Gide for Ultimate Athletic Conditioning.

In this episode, we're discussing a more effective approach to injury recovery: a performance framework that isn't simply interested in healing the injury, but actually getting you to your pre-injury level of performance.

We'll talk about:

  • the major goals of this approach
  • how rehabilitation evolves over the course of an injury
  • major screening considerations for injuries
  • David's top strategies for staying healthy if you currently don't have an injury
