Shahad is a Strength and Conditioning Professional and Personal Trainer at Turf Athletics Club. A long time ago, he tore his ACL claiming that it was one of the best and worst things to ever happen to him: ‘The worst is self-explanatory, I’m out of commission.Obviously,it’s not ideal; my aspirations for playing professional baseball went down with the health of my knee. However, with the systematic degradation of my knee came new found knowledge and acceptance of what I can control. If I never tore my ACL, I probably never would’ve become a trainer. I never would’ve learned physical rehabilitation, strength performance, human anatomy. I never would’ve met the very people that inspire me to be the best I can be. I found a pivot, a silver lining, a new beginning. I hope to help you find yours if you need it too.’
