In this episode of The Determined Society, Shawn sits down with Zach Cogen, Head of Athlete Rehabilitation for the New York Red Bulls, to break down what real recovery actually looks like; physically, mentally, and emotionally.
Zach shares his journey from collegiate wrestling to working with elite professional athletes across UCLA, EXOS, DC United, and now Major League Soccer.
He explains the critical difference between return to play and return to performance, and why simply getting back on the field isn’t enough for high-level athletes whose careers depend on elite output.
Key Takeaways
-Return to play is not the same as return to performance
-Recovery must address both physical and mental readiness
-Sleep and nutrition are essential for healing and performance
-Pneumatic compression improves circulation and recovery
-Trust between athlete and practitioner is critical
-Discipline and determination are built through consistency
