WHAT INJURED ATHLETES ARE SAYING
      Â
“Injury has a way of shrinking your world, and I wish I’d had access to a course like this – one that helps you see your feelings as normal and offers the space, community, and tools to meet yourself exactly where you are, not where you think you “should” be. Most of all, it’s a reminder that you’re never alone in this."
