You're injured (as an athlete). Now what?, with mental performance coach Olivia Papakyrikos

"Injury is part of the athletic experience. Burnout, setbacks, losses...all of these things are part of being an athlete. There's nothing you can do to eliminate ALL risk of that," shares licensed therapist and sport psychology consultant, Olivia Papakyrikos. She is part of our Lane 9 Membership and Directory . Olivia was a collegiate athlete, and now supports athletes navigating things like injuries, body image struggles, and life transitions. We talk about the stages of grief an athlete may experience when navigating an injury, why it's actually so disruptive to our sense of identity, and what to do about that.
