Pete visits with Mike Bean, a 36-year veteran athletic trainer at the University of Notre Dame, who leverages his extensive experience with Notre Dame’s football program to provide comprehensive care that is focused on injury prevention, immediate sideline response, and functional rehabilitation. His work emphasizes a philosophy of “athlete-first”, ensuring that sports rehab not only restores physical strength but also builds the confidence necessary for high-level performance.
Bean, is also the notably inventor of the TayCo Brace, an innovative over-the-shoe ankle support designed to allow athletes to maintain normal gait and return to play more quickly and safely than traditional methods.
