Dr. Christian Zepp, an Assistant Professor in sport psychology at the   University in Cologne, Germany has a wealth of experience working with athletes and high-performance individuals across a range of sports. Dr. Zepp discusses the three major pillars of the framework he uses to help athletes cope with injury vulnerabilities. These include issues or questions of comprehensibility (“Do I understand the nature of my injury and what will occur during my rehabilitation”?), manageability (“What can I do right now to manage or improve the situation”?), and meaningfulness (“What is the potential value, use or benefit of this experience for you at this moment”?). Reflection on these questions can facilitate injured athlete self-reflection, exploration and coping.  For further assistance dealing with the challenges of injury or for performance enhancement consulting visit: podlogconsulting.com
