FOR YOUTH & STUDENT ATHLETES

The missing piece in your athlete’s ACL recovery

Because physical therapy isn’t enough

Your student-athlete is doing everything right—showing up to PT, following the protocol, pushing through the hard days. But as a parent, you can feel it: something’s missing.

The spark. The confidence. The unwavering belief in their comeback.

The hidden challenge of ACL Recovery

While physical therapists rebuild your athlete’s knee, who’s rebuilding their:

  • Confidence to return to play?

  • Mental toughness during setbacks?

  • Athletic identity during months away from their sport?

  • Connection to their team and dreams?

Introducing Recovery Road: The Mental Edge Your Athlete Needs

Recovery Road pairs cutting-edge AI technology with expert mental performance coaching to give your athlete the psychological support that traditional rehabilitation overlooks.

We're the missing piece in your athlete's return-to-play journey.

Why the mental side of recovery matters now more than ever

The return-to-play reality

1 in 3 athletes never return to their pre-injury level of play—not because of physical limitations, but fear and loss of confidence.

The recruitment edge

College recruiters actively seek athletes who demonstrate mental resilience during recovery.

The mental health impact

40% of athletes experience anxiety or depression during ACL recovery.

The recovery speed advantage

Athletes with mental skills training return to sport 2-3 months faster on average.
