Lee Applequist: Ownership, Opportunity, and Overcoming Obstacles in High Performance

In this episode of the Braun Performance & Rehab Podcast, Dan is joined by Lee Applequist to discuss his journey and lessons as a clinician, including opportunities he has explored and created, obstacles he has overcome, the development of ownership and accountability as a clinician, and more. Lee was born in Seoul, South Korea and came to America when he was 10 months old and grew up in Pennsylvania and Tennessee. His inspiration to have a career in professional sports originated in his youth when he witnessed how athletes on the Philadelphia professional sports teams were evaluated on the field/court and successfully returned to play from injury. Upon finishing high school, he started at the community college, prior to earning a Bachelors in Athletic Training from East Stroudsburg University (2012) and a Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Utica College (2016). Lee has practiced in a variety of settings; including the NBA/NBA G-League, Division 1 College Athletics, Military, and physical therapy clinics treating sports and general orthopaedic cases. In addition he has completed internships with Team USA Athletics and the NFL. Throughout his career, Lee has worked as a physical therapist, athletic trainer, and strength and conditioning coach. In addition he has pursued professional development coursework to advance his expertise and expand the clinical skillset. Though he has been blessed over the years, Lee has never forgotten his roots, sacrifices, and the journey to become the man he is today. For more on Lee be sure to follow @leeapplequist3
