Coach Carl's Playbook: Fitness and Recovery from NFL to Rehab Centers

I'm serious about the factory because I didn't have a gi yep. You got to be kidding me and I said: man, so I got up in the morning. I can't coach on the field anymore, but I can coach people in the field of life.
Ever wondered how fitness can play a crucial role in addiction recovery? In this episode of 'Recovery On-Air', Coach Carl Hargrave, a former NFL player and coach, takes us on a journey through his remarkable transition from the football field to fitness coaching in recovery centers. Co-host Bex sits down with Coach Carl to uncover how his experiences with alcohol and drugs in professional sports shaped his approach to recovery and fitness.
Coach Carl's core belief is that 'the body is made to move', and he brings this philosophy to life through the Fit Four Recovery program, which he takes into recovery centers once or twice a week. This program isn't just about exercise; it's about finding balance and using physical activity as a tool for mental and emotional healing. Coach Carl also tackles the stigma surrounding addiction recovery and emphasizes the importance of providing employment opportunities for those in recovery.
His story is one of resilience, positivity, and a commitment to helping others take control of their lives. Tune in to hear how Coach Carl's motivational spirit is making waves in the sober community and inspiring many to focus on their physical and mental well-being.
