282: Rye Stinson - How to Be Great At Golf, Successful at Work, and Avoid/Navigate Injury
About this episode
Rye Stinson shares insights on balancing golf excellence with professional success and navigating injuries.
Rye Stinson is perhaps the only person in the world who is all of these things: Occupational Therapist, Certified Hand Therapist, TPI M3 Certified, AND has qualified for a U.S. Mid-Amateur, which he did in 2024. So I took that as an opportunity to dive right into how on earth he is so successful in his work while also being such a high level player. He plays humble, but he shared some great wisdom for how he does it. We also get into the nuances of injuries, navigating the healthcare system when it comes to diagnoses, dealing with apathetic orthopedic surgeons, and what to do if you are in fact injured. I really enjoyed this conversation (hence why we went so long!) so I think you will too.
