Whether you’re sidelined by a sprain, recovering from surgery, or facing a long rehabilitation, an injury can shake more than your body—it can shake your sense of identity and confidence.

Manage the emotional ups and downs of rehabilitation

Rebuild self-confidence and athletic identity

Reduce fear of re-injury and return-to-play anxiety

Strengthen focus, visualization, and mindfulness during recovery

Develop coping strategies for setbacks and uncertainty

Build a healthy mindset for comeback performance

THROUGH SPORT PERFORMANCE PSYCHOLOGY SESSIONS FOCUSED ON INJURY RECOVERY, YOU’LL GAIN TOOLS TO:

When Movement Stops,
the Mind
Keeps Going

Injuries bring sudden change. Training schedules vanish. Teams move forward without you. The frustration of lost progress or fear of re-injury can quickly turn into anxiety, isolation, or self-doubt. You might wonder, Who am I if I can’t compete right now? Together, we’ll work through that question, learning how to channel your competitive drive into resilience, patience, and perspective.
