@the_readystate: When an injury happens, most people go straight to worst-case scenario. 🫠 But what if you… didn’t? One of the first shifts I make when working with injured athletes is to start from a place of curiosity. 💡 Instead of assuming the worst, we treat it like a sprain until we have more information. That alone creates space to think clearly and take action. From there, the question becomes: what can you *still* do? Setting new goals early changes everything. It gives you direction, restores a sense of control, and keeps you moving forward instead of feeling stuck. Injury doesn’t have to mean hitting pause on progress. It’s often a chance to refocus and build in ways you hadn’t considered. Check out my full mini-lecture on the Psychology of Injury on YouTube through the link in my bio.
