Injuries in sport are a common hurdle many of the athletes we coach will face, and attendees of this presentation will be exposed to a variety of tools and techniques they can use to engage with injured athletes and support them either throughout the return to play process or through their transition out of sport. These tools and techniques are research based, require minimal training, and can be utilized regardless of available budget or resources. I will draw on my experiences as a former student-athlete, coach, athletic administrator, and researcher to help you expand your knowledge base and skill set so you can be better equipped to support the mental health of your injured athletes.
