Supporting Your Athlete’s Mental Recovery from Injury
Service Detail
Helping Your Child Stay Resilient, Confident, and Motivated During Recovery
When your child suffers a sports injury, the physical healing process is only part of the journey. The mental side—dealing with frustration, fear of reinjury, and loss of confidence—can be just as challenging. As a parent, you want to help, but it’s not always clear how.

- Use positive reinforcement and avoid pressuring them to “tough it out.”
- Keep them engaged with their team and sport, even if they can’t play.
- Introduce them to sport psychology techniques that aid in recovery.
