Coping with Injury

As most athletes will agree, injury is a natural part of competitive sport and will occur at some point throughout your playing career. With this said, many of these same athletes will also agree that the psychological impact of injury can be just as challenging to overcome as the physical injury itself. Some typical impacts include loss of confidence, increased anxiety / fear of re-injury, feelings of isolation and/or depression and changes to your self esteem and/or identity.
