637 | How to Coach an Injured Athlete (Step-by-Step Breakdown)


Listen Later

Her body was ready. Her mind wasn't. And no one had given her the tools to bridge that gap.

In this episode, I'm taking you behind the scenes of a recent session I had with a professional basketball player coming back from an ACL injury. Cleared by her trainer and full speed into practice, she was still carrying a heavy load of fear and self-doubt.

You’ll learn step-by-step how I coached her through it, including the one phrase that can change everything for an injured athlete, an exercise that helps you discover what they need, and how to create a customized guided visualization for every client.

Topics discussed:

  • The mental challenges of returning to play after an injury
  • Conscious vs. subconscious brain
  • How to discover what your athlete really needs
  • How to turn conversations into a guided visualization
  • Closing the session and next steps
  • The most important thing that injured athletes need to hear
