    We’re sorry you’re here, but we’re glad you’re with us! If you’re lucky enough to call yourself an athlete, 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 about how they’ve coped with sports injuries and come out stronger on the other side. 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.

    120 | Coach Carrie Answers a Question: Emily's Emotions Mar 28, 2024
    Show notes

    " How can you deal with anxiety not of a specific reinjury, but a more generalized fear about your sport being taken away from you again? That fear does help me appreciate what I have now that I'm running again, but also makes disruptions to my training or race plans—whether from how I'm feeling physically, or work/life stress—harder to deal with. How can I cope?"

    In this episode of The Injured Athletes Club podcast, mental skills coach Carrie Jackson answers a question from Emily regarding handling the anxiety associated with the potential permanent loss of her sport due to repeated injuries.

    In her response, she describes common fears athletes face during injury recovery, emphasizing not just the fear of re-injury but the broader, more generalized fear of losing access to their sport altogether.

    To manage these anxieties, Coach Carrie underscores the importance of mindfulness and the practice of staying present. Becoming hyper-aware of the previously injured part of the body can trigger stress responses based on past experiences, she says. But shifting one's mindset toward acceptance and focusing on what is within your control, today, can ease your mind and help you move forward.

    119 | Ultrarunner Aum Gandhi: Your Inner Coach Mar 21, 2024
    Show notes

    "Instead of being mean to myself and saying, 'You've got nothing else outside of running,' I said, 'Look at all the other multi-faceted things you are. You are a son, you are a brother, you're a business owner. Humans are multi-faceted; you have an identity outside this sport. The sport may have helped you find more of your authenticity, but you're not bound to this sport. It's only a piece of the puzzle, a part of your identity."

    When Merrell Professional Athlete Aum Gandhi first started running six years ago, he barely went a quarter of a mile—and he describes it now as "the most nauseating, grueling experience ever." But something compelled him to do it again, and again, and again. Now, he's regularly conquering distances of 200 miles and more.

    All that has taken him incredible places, including to the helm of endurance-sports publication Run Tri Bike; to that professional contract with Merrell; and as a key fundraiser for the Richstone Family Center. Several years later, however, all that came into question at mile 235 of a 240-mile race, when a hip injury forced him to make a huge decision about whether to continue.

    Hear how Aum harnessed his inner coach to rebound from that injury and redefine his relationship to running; how the everyday athletes he profiles on Run Tri Bike inspire him; what he gains from his relationship with kids at the Richstone Family Center who are also overcoming trauma; and his advice for the ultrarunner in all of us.

    118 | Coach Carrie Answers a Question: Cecile's Situation Mar 14, 2024
    Show notes

    " How can you let go of the injury? Sometimes when you spend a long time with a chronic injury, it shapes how you move, plan, and think about life and your body. How do you let go when the time has come?"

    In the seventh season of The Injured Athletes Club podcast, mental skills coach Carrie Jackson answers a question every other week about the mental side of overcoming injuries.

    This week, Coach Carrie delves into the complex issue posed by listener Cecile on letting go of the identity formed around a chronic injury. She points out how this attachment can make the transition to recovery a mental challenge.

    Carrie underscores the importance of reflection to identify what specifically hinders the letting-go process. It could be fear, resignation, or the perks that come with being in an injured state, known as secondary gains. To work through this, Carrie suggests a mental training drill titled 'stop, start, continue,' which prompts individuals to list actions they need to start or stop to aid their recovery, alongside activities they should keep in their repertoire.

    117 | Strongwoman and Author Alyssa Ages: Learning through Failure Mar 07, 2024
    Show notes

    "Because I wasn't a competitive runner, I don't think I ever had to face failure in that situation … but in strength sports, when I compete, I'm doing that in front of a crowd and a judge who is just looking at me. And it's totally changed the way that I have to handle that fear of failure because it's right there in front of me. I can't escape that someone is looking directly at me and judging whether I've passed or failed. And what I've learned from that is just that it makes you, I think, a better person when you face failure in that way."

    On this week's episode of The Injured Athletes Club, Alyssa Ages, an endurance athlete, strongman competitor, and the author of Secrets of Giants: A Journey to Uncover the True Meaning of Strength shares the many lessons she's learned during her athletic pursuits—and why sometimes, failure is the ultimate success.

    Alyssa discusses her transition from being an endurance athlete to a strongman competitor and how a miscarriage she suffered led to a profound change in her perspective. (So, a note that that's a topic we touch on, in case that's a tender spot for you right now.)

    She delves deep into her experiences with injuries, how strength training helped her physically and emotionally, and how she copes with setbacks using skills she picked up from various sports. The conversation also highlights her thoughts on body image and the cultural norms surrounding women's bodies.

    116 | Coach Carrie Answers a Question: Cassandra's Cocoon Feb 29, 2024
    Show notes

    " As someone in long-term recovery, likely 12 to 18 months before I'm running again, I've struggled a lot with the muscle loss and atrophy to the point it's causing identity struggles. I don't look or feel like an athlete anymore. My coach and I will have to literally rebuild my strength and my body. How can I cope?"

    In the seventh season of The Injured Athletes Club podcast, mental skills coach Carrie Jackson answers a question every other week about the mental side of overcoming injuries.

    This week, listener Cassandra is struggling with losing her athletic identity. Coach Carrie provides advice and insights regarding the struggle many athletes face when confronted with a similar situation.

    She emphasizes the influence labels have on identity, the necessity for self-acceptance during these challenging times, and the transformative ordeal of "being the goo" as a metaphor for the rebuilding phase in the recovery journey. She encourages athletes to see beyond their athletic identity, as individuals are more than a single label or role.

    115 | Former NCAA Basketball Player Britt Hunter: Pour Into Others Feb 22, 2024
    Show notes

    "You need to equip your young adult for how to get through it on their own. So shepherd them. Get them the tools and resources. Let them mess it up a little bit. It's natural to protect, protect, protect, and direct, direct, direct—but your child needs to explore this time on their own a little bit with the right resources and the right people around them. They're going to go through this again and again and again at different stages of their life and going through an injury at a young age, they're going to have to grow up a little bit faster. So help them, but don't control them."

    In this week's episode of The Injured Athletes Club podcast, Britt Hunter, a former Division I basketball player, shares her struggle recovering from an injury that changed her professional trajectory.

    She discusses how this led to her battling depression, attempting suicide—heads-up that there is a frank discussion of that moment in this episode—and eventually finding her path forward. She moved on to the field of education, which she describes as a lifeline.

    Britt emphasizes the importance of mental health resources for student-athletes and suggests athletes pour their energy into a cause or mission bigger than themselves. She shares her story to inspire other struggling athletes and make them realize that they are not alone in their journey. And, she has many words of advice for parents of young athletes, too.

    114 | Coach Carrie Answers a Question: Jennifer's Junction Feb 15, 2024
    Show notes

    " How do I walk the fine line between being independent and self-reliant in recovery—a positive—and opting to go it alone, which can be a negative? Separately, I'd love to know more about managing an injury in the context of a chronic condition. For example, I have epilepsy but seizure meds are not great for bone density. Flip side, reducing meds is good for bones but bad for the brain. Doctors can offer guidance but making the decisions is ours alone."

    In the seventh season of The Injured Athletes Club podcast, mental skills coach Carrie Jackson answers a question every other week about the mental side of overcoming injuries.

    This week, Coach Carrie answers Jennifer's questions about navigating the line between independence and self-isolation, as well as how to deal with recovery and chronic conditions.

    Coach Carrie emphasizes contemplating what drives the need to go alone, and how to walk the fine line between independence and isolation, knowing you may step over and need to correct at some moments.

    She also discusses the fact that there aren't singularly right or wrong decisions; there are simply decisions made to the best of your ability, given the information at hand. Above all, she stresses the importance of emotional support during tough times.

    113 | Ultrarunner Amelia Boone: The Best Days Are Ahead Feb 08, 2024
    Show notes

    "I would tell [Amelia of four years ago] that you may not believe it, but it's gonna get better, and recovery is possible, and honestly, your best running days are to come. And that's something that I've had to tell myself now too. I actually still do believe that, especially as we're seeing women in their 40s just blossoming in distance running."

    In this episode of the Injured Athletes Club, Coach Carrie and Cindy are grateful to catch up with our first guest ever—and first repeat guest—elite ultrarunner, championship obstacle course racer, and eating disorder advocate Amelia Boone.

    Amelia shares more about her most recent stress fracture, her process of recovery, and her commitment to strength training and varied movement as part of her rehab. She also discusses her experience of being an athlete in her 40s and how she has had to adjust her training accordingly.

    And, we delve into her journey of recovering from an eating disorder, and how it intersects with her injuries. She continues her work to counteract the messages that sometimes linger in her brain, including in times of struggle, such as during injury and rehab. By openly discussing her own journey in interviews and through her thoughtful writing, she hopes to offer community and hope to others through theirs.

    A special note: We'll host an Instagram Live with Amelia on 4 p.m. PT/7 p.m. ET on Thurs., Feb. 15! Mark your calendars and join us here for an update and Q&A with this remarkable athlete.

    112 | Coach Carrie Answers a Question: Amy's Inquiries Feb 01, 2024
    Show notes

    " I have a question about the mental roadblocks when you are coming back from an injury. How can you handle the sensations you feel when you return to movement and the worry whether you made it worse; the patience to progress back slowly; and the fear that you won't ever feel 100 percent again?"

    In the seventh season of The Injured Athletes Club podcast, mental skills coach Carrie Jackson answers a question every other week about the mental side of overcoming injuries.

    This week, in response to Amy's uncertainty about her recovery, Coach Carrie outlines various common struggles athletes face concerning fears of aggravating injuries, the patience needed to slowly regain strength, and the uncertainty of returning to their optimal condition.

    She suggests practical solutions such as keeping a pain log with healthcare providers, making the recovery process the primary focus, and staying rooted in the present. Coach Carrie also emphasizes the importance of focusing on personal recovery instead of comparing progress with others.

    "Dancing on a high level is—you have to be open. You have to be open that you can get injured. You have to be open that you will have to face things that you don't want to face. Because if we are not open and instead are close-minded, we cannot grow."

    In this week's episode of The Injured Athletes Club, principal dancer at the Boston Ballet, John Lam, discusses his journey from a catastrophic injury back to the stage.

    He details the physical and mental struggles he encountered during his recovery, emphasizing the importance of patience, personal growth, having a trusted support system, and being open to change.
