associated with rehab, but it can causes an emotional and <strong>mental<\/strong> impact on the athlete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What are the anxieties and fears when you are injured?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"These_include\"><\/span><strong>These include:<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>A loss of identity:<\/strong> Since you probably have competed in your sport from an early age, you probably identify with your sport (&#8220;<em>I am a baseball player,&#8221; &#8220;I am a gymnast,&#8221; &#8220;I am a soccer player,&#8221;<\/em> etc).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Losing that connection with your team:<\/strong> Your team is most likely part of your social circle also. You may feel your injury is driving a wedge between you and your friends\/teammates.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Doubts about your future:<\/strong> You may wonder if you will be able to compete at the same level as before the injury or, even worse, will the injury prevent you from ever playing again. You may fear losing a scholarship or not getting accepted into the college of your choice.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Losing your role on the team: <\/strong>You may fear being replaced on the team or having your playing time drastically reduced.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The pain of rehab:<\/strong> Rehab can be physically uncomfortable, take a huge chunk of time out of your day and may be a financial strain on your family.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Fear of re-injury:<\/strong> When you return to your sport, your head may be filled with images of getting hurt again and may be an even greater source of anxiety.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Loss of confidence:<\/strong> Injury can lead some athletes to doubt their ability to return to a prior level of performance before injury.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>mental<\/strong> impact of injury must be handled with care if you are to have a successful return to your sport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_then_is_the_most_effective_mindset_when_dealing_with_an_injury\"><\/span>What, then, is the most effective mindset when dealing with an injury?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s look at the example of Malik Hooker&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hooker is a 21-year-old safety who was drafted with the 15th overall pick last month by the Indianapolis Colts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Due to surgery for a sports hernia and a torn labrum in his hip, Hooker has yet to practice with his fellow rookie teammates and will be unable to do so until late July.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rather than having a &#8220;poor me&#8221; <strong>mindset,<\/strong> Hooker instead has taken a positive approach regarding his injury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That is not to say that Hooker is happy about being injured, but Hooker is utilizing his injury timeout to best prepare for his first NFL season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>HOOKER:<\/strong> <em>&#8220;Right now, the playbook&#8217;s my best friend.
