Fear After Injury: What No One Talks About — And How to Move Forward

This one’s for the athlete who’s physically healing, but still mentally stuck. In today’s episode, I’m getting brutally honest about the part of injury no one warns you about — the fear that lingers after the pain fades.

I’ll share my own story — from GHD sit-ups to squat racks and back pain flare-ups — and break down:

  • Why fear after injury is normal, not weakness
  • What fear actually looks like inside your training
  • How pain rewires your brain — and how to fight back
  • Tools to rebuild trust in your body and stop overanalyzing every rep
  • Why you don’t need the fear to be gone before you start again

This isn’t a “just be positive” talk. It’s the raw truth, real strategies, and a reminder that fear doesn’t mean stop. It means it matters. And your comeback isn’t just physical — it’s mental, too.

Fear is real, but so is your comeback.
