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.

    179 | Coach Carrie and Cindy Talk the Talk (Again)
    Jul 2 2026
    "It's so important to pay attention to how you are talking to yourself, because your words influence everything. So you really need to understand your self-talk and start to dive into it a little bit and know, OK, is the way I'm talking to myself right now—is that helping me or is that actually hurting me?" Imagine you're walking past two sets of coaches and athletes on the tennis court, track, or soccer pitch. One coach is yelling at an athlete for her poor performance, telling her it's all her fault and she'll never improve. The other is offering encouraging words, letting the athlete know she may have fallen short this time, but if she tries again, success is achievable. Which coach would you rather play for—and which athlete do you predict will do better in the long run? Most of us would gravitate toward a leader who's empathetic and builds athletes up rather than tearing them down. But so often, and especially when we're injured, we serve as our own nightmare coach—blaming ourselves for any setback and constantly pointing out our own shortcomings. Coach Carrie sees this all the time in her clients, and in this replay of an episode from season 5, we're dedicating a whole episode to turning this equation around. Your self-talk matters, and there are many ways to notice that inner dialogue and shift it so you're nourishing your inner athlete, rather than feeding the monster of self-doubt and criticism.

    178 | Coach Carrie Answers a Question on Dating While Recovering from Injury
    Jun 25 2026
    "How do you date as an injured athlete when you identify strongly with specific sports and are drawn to others who also do those things … but you can't do them at this time? It becomes a source of anxiety and insecurity. Like, who would want to date a fellow runner who can no longer run? Or someone who seems to be perpetually in physical rehab?"—Evan Navigating relationships can feel difficult as you're riding the roller coaster of injury recovery, Coach Carrie explains in this week's listener Q&A. And there are good reasons to consider not dating for a while: For example, you don't want to spend the time and energy, or you're feeling angry or jealous. But if you're truly seeking companionship, it might just be a better moment than you think to get out there, she says. After all, your physical ability as an athlete is only one of many things you have to offer. Because you know what it means to strive for big goals, you also understand how to support someone else in doing so, something athletes tend to appreciate in a partner. If you find a person you're compatible with when you're injured—something that can happen to any athlete or human, at any time—you can feel a lot more confident that your relationship can go the distance (pun intended).
