Nutrition and injury: You have questions, our experts have answers.
How should you adjust your nutrition when you're rehabbing rather than training or competing? What foods are most important for healing? And how can you cope with concerns about weight gain?

These questions come up over and over in The Injured Athletes Club, our virtual support group for injured athletes. Now, we've convened an expert panel to bring you the answers.

This is a recording of a webinar held on Dec. 8, 2020, with four amazing panelists:

-Rebecca McConville, MS, RD, LDN, CSSD, CEDRD, leading nutrition expert in RED-S, eating disorder specialist, and author of Finding Your Sweet Spot: How to Avoid RED-S by Optimizing Your Energy Balance

If you've ever been injured before, you know that sometimes your body is healed before your confidence is. Your brain needs its own “physical therapy” to get back to the confidence and composure you felt before you got injured. The good news is– this program will give you the tools you need to regain your confidence and work on your mental rehab.

By the end of this five-lesson e-course, you will become familiar with the ins-and-outs of the injury process, understand the impact stress has on your injury recovery, know the specific issues that come up during the rehabilitation process, gain the resilience you need to stay positive through the process, and have access to the Mental Skills Training tools you need to regain your confidence in yourself and get back to your sport.

Your competitive drive, love for your sport, and dedication to train doesn’t change just because you enter your masters years. But as time passes, your approach may benefit from some fine-tuning.

Our expert panel explained age-related changes in body and mind, answering your questions about fueling, training, preventing and recovering from injury, and maintaining your mental and physical edge, at every age.

“A man is but the product of his thoughts. What he thinks he becomes.” —Mahatma Gandhi


As an injured athlete, you need some reminders to help you stay resilient, grounded, and confident. When so much feels out of your control, you need to tip that balance with some powerful internal dialogue to call up your courage and perseverance. Affirmations are compelling and persuasive statements you can use to fire up your resolve and belief. We have crafted a list of 10 affirmations for injured athletes in two different versions, and we included a blank template so you can create your own as well.

How can you find health care providers who understand the mindset of an athlete? When—and how—can you seek a second opinion? What if you have insurance issues? And how can you truly stay an active member of your own health care team?

Finding medical providers you trust is critical to your recovery from injury, but all too often, barriers stand between you and the treatment you need and deserve. We've convened an expert panel who gets it, and will offer their advice on navigating the system, communicating clearly, and handling pain and other setbacks.
