Injuries absolutely suck. But if you train hard and push yourself, they are almost inevitable. Except for extremely bad luck, you should avoid any major or catastrophic injury, but little tweaks are going to happen.

There are few people I know who have been injured more than I have. I don’t say this to brag, I wish it weren’t the case, but it gives credibility to the protocols laid out in this episode. Note: this is not an episode about how to NOT get injured. Based on what I just said, I clearly don’t have the answer to that. This is from the moment injury occurs onwards.

If you’re unlike me and not used to being injured, it’ll be confusing and maybe freak you out a bit, so having this plan in the back of your mind will greatly help you if/when it happens.

Another note: this is not medical advice. I explain in the episode when/how to seek professional medical care and how to go about working with qualified individuals to get yourself back to full strength. But these people will not be there at the moment the injury occurs, so you need to know how to take care of and then advocate for yourself.

Thanks for listening, I hope you never need anything I said in this episode, but since you’re listening, I know you train hard and want to push yourself, and odds are you’ll pick up some minor injuries along the way. Such is life.
