SPORTS PSYCHOLOGY
FOCUSED ON INJURY

Injury is the negative aspect of sport. It is never welcome. But it is there. Anyone who has played sports for an extended period of their life knows what it means to have to stop doing what you are passionate about due to injury. And you know what it implies both physically and psychologically.
An injury not only impacts the body, it also impacts the person's mind. Apart from the strong emotional impact that it entails, it can have an impact on motivation, confidence, etc. as well as in the habits of the individual.
The relationship between the physical aspects of the individual and the injury is more than clear, since an adequate physical level prevents the appearance of injuries during sports practice. But psychological factors are also related to injuries. Furthermore, scientific studies have recently found the relationship between psychological aspects (such as anxiety / stress) and the probability of injury to an individual.
Regarding recovery, anyone who has had the bad luck of having to make a prolonged recovery in time can assure the importance of not losing motivation, of incorporating it as a necessary habit in the day to day and of not falling apart. Recovery is usually faced on a physical level (completely necessary), but the impacts of the injury in the psychological sphere are not usually taken into account as much.

What can a sports psychologist contribute to the injury?

From sports psychology it is possible:

  • Work the prevention of future injuries of internal cause from the contribution of resources and skills to correctly manage psychological processes that are related to the probability of injury of the athlete.
  • Intervene at the time of injury and in the recovery phases, helping the adequate processing of the psychological aspects that begin at the moment of the injury until the full sports recovery of the individual.
