Mind, Body and Sport: How being injured affects mental health

When my son was injured while playing hockey, I started researching the importance of not just musculoskeletal health and healing, but the mind body connection to holistic health and healing. I’m in a journey to help not only my son through his 2nd sports related injury in less than 2 years, but all student athletes experiencing trauma through sports injuries.


“It’s also important for coaches, athletic trainers and team physicians to support injured student-athletes and do what they can to keep athletes involved and part of the team. This might include keeping student-athletes engaged, and at the same time encouraging them to seek help and not try to “tough their way through” situations that include mental health factors.”
