The Injured Athletes Club
The Injured Athletes Club, with mental skills coach Carrie Jackson. We’re sorry you’re here, but we’re glad you’re with us! If you’re an athlete—and by that we mean anyone who moves their body regularly— chances are you’ve been injured. One of the biggest challenges of injury is facing recovery alone. Now, you don’t have to. Mental skills coach Carrie Jackson and journalist Cindy Kuzma interview athletes, researchers, clinicians, and others in the field about how to cope with sports injuries and the mental side of the rehab and recovery process. And, Carrie shares some of the mental skills and drills she teaches injured athletes—tools you can use to stay positive and resilient during your recovery. Not only can these strategies help you bounce back stronger from injury, you can use them to rebound from any setback in your sport—or in life.
