Written by a leading mental skills coach and contributing editor to Runner’s World (US), this is a practical guide to building the psychological resilience that athletes need to recover from injury and rebound stronger.
Injuries affect every athlete, from the elite Olympian to the weekend racer. In the moment, a traumatic crash, a torn muscle, or a stress fracture can feel like the most devastating event possible. While some athletes are destroyed by the experience, others emerge from their recovery better, stronger, and more confident than ever.
The key to a swifter, stronger comeback is the use of mental skills: psychological tools that enable an athlete to take control of their recovery and ultimately use the experience to their advantage. Injury and other setbacks are inevitable – but with training, overcoming them skillfully and confidently is possible.
This book will provide a clear, compelling explanation of psychological recovery from injury and a practical guide to building mental resilience. Weaving together personal narratives from star athletes, scientific research, and the specialized clinical expertise of mental skills coach Carrie Jackson Cheadle, it will contain more than 45 Mental Skills and Drills that athletes can use at every phase of their recovery process. These same strategies can help athletes who aren’t currently injured reduce their vulnerability to injury, and enable any individual to reach new heights within their sport and beyond.

More of a workbook and very much based on a cognitive-behavioural approach. The examples are excellent and bring the theory to life. Couldn’t fault the basic principles.

Whether you are an athlete or know one, you need to buy this book ready for an injury, or a gift to an injured runner!
I heard about it from a great podcast interview and immediately read it cover-to-cover, then went through it again with a marker pen and sticky notes and have dipped into it many times per week since.
The tone is universally supportive and practical. It acknowledges how much the situation sucks, and real things that you can work on to come through the situation. It does not fall into the trap of asserting that if you try hard enough there will be a fairytale ending, but gives real examples of what people have done.
I recommend this to everyone!
