didn\u2019t?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Teddy Bridgewater, a current quarterback for the New York Jets suffered a gruesome knee injury on August 30th, 2016. A torn ACL and a dislocation.<br>Many thought his career was over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&#8220;It was scary,&#8221;<\/em> Bridgewater said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bridgewater\u2019s recovery has been a long road. On November 12, 2017 he was able to dress in his uniform and stand on the sidelines for the first time since his injury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That was over a year rehabilitating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The quarterback commented on being able to stand on the field again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>He said:<\/strong> <em>&#8220;It brought tears to my eyes because it showed me you\u2019re never out of it, you\u2019re never out of the fight.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the 2018 season, Bridgewater has an opportunity to earn the Jets\u2019 starting position, or he could be trade bait in the preseason. He doesn\u2019t look ahead though, instead, <strong>focusing<\/strong> only on minicamp right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bridgewater stated:<\/strong> <em>&#8220;I have a list of small <strong>goals.<\/strong> I\u2019ve been checking them off the list.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Injury can bring many <strong>challenges,<\/strong> both physical and mental. The severity of those challenges often dependent on the intensity of the injury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Athletes will of course be limited in their physical ability, but they might also experience <strong>anger, frustration, sadness, fear,<\/strong> feelings of loss, and a <strong>decreased self-confidence<\/strong> and <strong>self-esteem.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"For_some_athletes_injury_and_recovery_can_resemble_the_bereavement_process\"><\/span>For some athletes, injury and recovery can resemble the bereavement process.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>During college, I (Dr. Megan) suffered an injury that kept me out for an entire year, a regular and spring season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I experienced all these emotions and endured additional challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More so, I struggled to return mentally, having a <strong>fear of reinjury<\/strong>, <strong>lacking trust,<\/strong> and not being confident in my ability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a result, I didn\u2019t return the player I was before my injury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you become injured in your sport, you want to rehabilitate your <strong>mental game<\/strong> along with the physical, so you\u2019re able to return to your preinjury level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like Bridgewater, set small, <strong>manageable<\/strong> goals you can check off through your recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Having attainable targets helps you <strong>focus on the process<\/strong> of rehabilitation and might also improve your <strong>confidence<\/strong> along the way, as you successfully complete your goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Also_eliminate_your_expectations_through_your_recovery\"><\/span>Also, eliminate your expectations through your recovery.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you think you should return at a certain point or be the player you were before your injury, you\u2019ll likely be <strong>frustrated<\/strong> if that\u2019s not the case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bridgewater\u2019s rehabilitation took well over a year, though he persevered through the process and remained optimistic through all obstacles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To learn about how to stay focused during competition, check out &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.peaksports.com\/the-focused-athlete-cd-program\/\">The Focused Athlete<\/a>&#8221;
