Bringing Back Baron Davis (1x5)

Air date: Aug 13, 2014

Mike Barwis and his gang of trainers help athletes and average joes overcome all types of injuries, from knee strains to paralysis – fixing both their bodies and their minds. In this episode, Barwis helps NBA star Baron Davis battle through an ACL tear that could mean the end of his career. Barwis quickly learns that Baron’s issue isn’t just physical, it’s mental too. The point guard has lost all confidence in his ability to compete and is terrified of failing all over again. When Barwis takes Baron to a basketball court for a game of one-on-one the first time since his injury, will Baron finally turn the corner in his progress – or will his psyche crumble? At the same time, Barwis helps Green Bay Packers player Jerel Worthy deal with a problem a little more basic: losing enough weight to stay injury free himself.
