" How do I deal with expectations around timelines?" —Every injured athlete, ever   In season 8 of The Injured Athletes Club podcast, mental skills coach Carrie Jackson answers a question every other week about the mental side of overcoming injuries. And for our season finale, she tackles an issue that's come up from more than one person: how to manage when recovery takes longer than you'd like.   So many injured athletes have had the experience of latching onto an initial timeline given by a doctor, physical therapist, or other medical professional—then feeling let down and defeated when their bodies have a different idea of the pace of healing.   As Coach Carrie says frequently: " Your recovery never goes as quickly as you want it to because you don't want to be injured in the first place." But through acceptance, patience, and loosening your grip on your expectations, you can honor what your body truly needs and move forward toward your rebound.   Resources/links: The Injured Athletes Club journals   A huge thank you to LEVER Movement, the exclusive sponsor of season 8 of The Injured Athletes Club podcast!
