In this episode of the Braun Performance & Rehab Podcast, Dan is joined by Luke Dunne to discuss his journey in soccer. Luke Dunne is a driven soccer player whose journey embodies resilience, discipline, and relentless pursuit of growth, both on and off the field. After years of commuting two hours each way to train with Maryland United and later competing at Boston, Luke faced one of his biggest challenges yet: bilateral groin tears that required surgery and months of rehab. Instead of letting injury define him, Luke rebuilt his game, physically, mentally, and emotionally through dedication, patience, and purpose. Now preparing to take his talents abroad to Germany, he’s chasing the professional dream while carrying the lessons learned from every setback along the way.

In this episode of the Braun Performance & Rehab Podcast, Dan is joined by Madison "Maddy" Foster to discuss her journey as a student studying forensic sciences, as an athlete in cross country and track and field, and beyond. Madison “Maddy” Foster is a senior cross country and track and field athlete at Bowling Green State University, where she’s competed on the roster for two Mid-American Conference (MAC) Championships. A Michigan native and former Michigan State University runner, Maddy’s journey reflects both speed and self-discovery. With personal bests of 17:23 in the 5K and 21:30 in the 6K, and a 4th place finish at the 2021 Michigan Cross Country State Championships, she’s proven her competitive edge on the course. But beyond the times and titles lies a deeper story, one of overcoming mental health struggles, injury setbacks, and performance plateaus that tested her identity and resilience as a Division I athlete. Today, Maddy shares an honest look at the reality of collegiate running, balancing ambition with wellbeing, and the lessons learned from chasing both personal growth and podium finishes.
