Today, I am going to give you the tools you need to (a) not allow injury to destroy your mental health, and (b) use the setback of injury to move toward mindset mastery.

Your mind and your body, as we’ve discussed plenty of times on the limitless athlete podcast, are intertwined. You cannot separate one from the other. Your body influences the feel of your mind, as much as your mind influences the feel of your body. That’s why your head drops and your shoulders round when you feel defeated in a workout. It’s why you stand up tall when you win. It’s why your breath...

The most dangerous thing for humans until very recently, has been being kicked out of the tribe. That’s why you naturally care so much about what people think of you.

Of course, this slowed her progress and growth. Over the following months, w...
