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.

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.

    "How do you navigate phantom pains and constant re-injury fears after recovering from a bone stress injury?" —Marija Fear is one of the brain's ways of protecting the body when it's injured. But often, our anxiety lingers long after it's useful. Our bodies and minds don't always recover at the same rate, Coach Carrie explains in this week's listener Q&A (that's why deliberately working on your mental skills is so important!). Phantom pains and fears of re-injury are totally normal after a bone stress injury, she points out. To reset your nervous system and ease excessive fears, she recommends focusing on breathing. You can also coach yourself through in the second person, telling yourself you're safe and strong. Or, you might try experimenting with naming your injury, creating a bit of psychological distance that turns an anxiety-provoking moment into a thoughtful conversation with your body.

    161 | Triathlete and Author Roderick Sewell on Defying Odds and Creating a Legacy Beyond Sports
    Feb 26 2026
    " Representation does matter. Because I've been to Zambia, Ethiopia, and Kenya with this same team, and when they see somebody who looks like them and is also walking on prosthetics … this child might be 18 and has never had a prosthetic. Now they're like, 'Oh, I have the motivation to not only try it, but know that I can live a normal life." On Oct. 12, 2019, marathoner Eliud Kipchoge broke the two-hour barrier in the marathon distance. The next day, his compatriot Brigid Kosgei shattered the official women's marathon world record, running 2:14:04 in Chicago. Between the two, another historic athletic event occurred in Kona, Hawaii. Roderick Sewell, a Paralympic swimmer, finished the Ironman World Championship. In doing so, he became the first double above-the-knee amputee to cross the line of the grueling endurance challenge. In some ways, he barely had any time to train, as he shares in this week's episode—he'd been invited to compete via the Challenged Athletes Foundation only three months prior. Although he was already an elite swimmer, he didn't have a bike, and his longest run was a half marathon (half the distance he'd run in Hawaii, 26.2 miles—after a 2.4-mile swim and 112-mile bike). But in other ways, it was a mission Roderick had been preparing for his whole life, from the time he was born without tibias and his mother made the difficult decision to have his legs amputated. He writes about their relationship and her sacrifices beautifully in his recent memoir, Iron Will. Through the book and our conversation, it's clear that his accomplishment in Kona is more than a personal victory. Along with the rest of his athletic career and his life, it's a gift back to her, as well as an example to others about what's possible.

    160 | Coach Carrie Answers a Question: Handling Unwanted Advice
    Feb 19 2026
    "The most frustrating thing is when older women in their 70s and 80s keep pestering me when I'm injured. I call them the 'I-told-you-so ladies.' I feel like they're giving me unsolicited advice and discouraging me to go back to lifting. Sometimes their comments hurt. One lady is a retired bodybuilder and a personal trainer in her 80s who had a hip replacement and the other lady is just an average Joe who doesn't lift weights but got a knee replacement. Please help me how to deal with those two! I just hate it when people in general give me unsolicited advice." —Nicole Everyone is entitled to their own opinions—but when they have unwelcome ideas about your recovery and then share them with you, the result can impact your mood and mindset. In this week's listener Q&A, Coach Carrie offers some insightful guidance on exactly how to cope with people like the "I-told-you-so ladies". You can start by realizing that often, their advice has way more to do with them than it does with you. Then, you can apply a mental filter so your brain perceives it as merely an opinion rather than a threat. From there, you can decide how to respond based on how you want to feel after the conversation. She even offers a few simple scripts that may help you defuse tense interactions, so you walk away feeling positive and confident.
