Elite Recovery & Discipline | Rebuilding After Adversity With Zach Cogen

Breaking norms in recovery starts with admitting you need help. In this episode, Shawn sits down with Zach Cogen, Head of Athlete Rehabilitation for the New York Red Bulls, to explore what real recovery actually looks like—physically, mentally, and emotionally. Zach breaks down how elite athletes approach rehabilitation as a discipline practice, the mental resilience required to rebuild after injury, and why recovery habits separate determined performers from those who burn out. A raw conversation on overcoming obstacles, developing the mindset to return stronger, and the often-hidden mental game behind elite performance.
