    Elite Bench Presser Tony Carlino on Resilience, Recovery, and Raising the Bar

    "One thing that helped me—and I don't know if I really thought about doing this, I think I just did it when I was in the hospital—was just taking it a day at a time. Taking the day for what it is, not trying to look too far ahead. Obviously, you want to hit that goal of getting better, but take the day for what it is and what you can do that day."   As one of the world's most accomplished equipped lifters, Tony Carlino is used to hoisting huge weights over his chest and on his back.    But in 2019, he faced a challenge no gym session could have prepared him for: A bout of swine flu that led to a lengthy hospitalization and a 16-day medically induced coma. Afterward, with much of his muscle melted away, he had to relearn to walk before he could even contemplate lifting again.    When he did go back, the bar alone felt heavy. He wasn't sure he'd get back to competing, but he did, within five months. And just two years later, he officially benched 1,000 pounds for the first time, a feat he's repeated several times since (including earlier this year at a meet called Holy Wars, where he also squatted more than 1,000 pounds—the second person ever to do both at the same equipped meet).   Resources/links: Tony's Instagram and TikTok Everstrong, his clothing and supplement company   A huge thank you to LEVER Movement, the exclusive sponsor of season 9 of The Injured Athletes Club podcast!

    Coach Carrie Answers a Question on Coping with Feeling Left Out

    "I'm feeling left out, although I know it's not intentional. I joined a racing team this year, but have had to withdraw from several races already due to recovering from a bone stress injury. I did too much, too soon last year, and it finally caught me right after team training started—go figure!   There's another race this weekend that most of the team is running, and I'm always happy to support them, but it also sucks feeling like a wasted spot on the roster and not being able to attend any group runs or races while I'm recovering. Do you have any advice on handling this?" —Jacob   Even if your teammates are welcoming and supportive—which, Jacob told us in a follow-up message, his definitely are—it isn't easy to feel a part of things when you're sitting on the sidelines.   In this week's listener Q&A, coach Carrie validates those feelings of anger, disappointment, and even guilt and shame. But as she reminds Jacob, being a good teammate is about far more than what you contribute to the race times or final scores.   While you're healing, your role shifts from training and competition to taking care of your body. Often, there are ways to do that that deepen your connection rather than strain it—for instance, joining for the team warm-up, doing your rehab exercises alongside them at practice, or simply showing up to cheer and support when it counts.   Resources/links: Episode 139 | Professional Soccer Player Civana Kuhlmann: Strength in Vulnerability   A huge thank you to LEVER Movement, the exclusive sponsor of season 9 of The Injured Athletes Club podcast!

    Swimmer Lyn Jutronich on Surviving a Shark Attack and Moving Forward

    " It's not going to be a linear journey, which is something that's been hard for me to wrap my head around. I have bad days and I have good days … I've had to learn that sometimes it's two steps forward, one step back."   Lyn Jutronich has been swimming since she was a child in the Chicago suburbs, and as an adult living near San Diego, she fell in love with the open water. But in November 2022, she experienced every swimmer's worst nightmare when a juvenile great white shark attacked her.   With help from her swimming partner, Lyn returned to shore. Her wounds healed in the weeks and months afterward. But what surprised her most were the psychological symptoms, including social anxiety and what was eventually diagnosed as post-traumatic stress disorder.   Time and treatment helped her manage. Then, on the third anniversary of the attack this past November, what was supposed to be a reclaiming of the day—and a triumphant return to the ocean—turned into another trip to the hospital with serious injuries. Now that she's starting down the next road to recovery, Lyn graciously shares the surprising approach that's helping her take things day by day and why she feels compelled to tell her story.   A huge thank you to LEVER Movement, the exclusive sponsor of season 9 of The Injured Athletes Club podcast!

    Coach Carrie Answers a Question on Pain Management and Recovery

    "I am nearly 8 months post-op after a femoral osteotomy to correct my knee. One of my biggest challenges is trying to figure out if my knee hurts because it 'should' as part of my recovery—or if it hurts because my body isn't used to this level of training after 7 months of not doing much. Can you help?"—Aaron   Sometimes, pain sends a clear signal to your brain that there's tissue damage or danger. But when you're recovering from an injury, those messages can get muddled, with an overactivated central nervous system firing off warnings even though there's nothing structurally wrong. And emotional stress, so common among injured athletes, can make the pain feel even more intense.   As Coach Carrie explains in this week's listener Q&A, one of the biggest challenges injured athletes face is telling the difference between pain that's a normal part of recovery and sensations that mean you're doing further damage.    Getting to the bottom of it is an individualized process that should involve your healthcare team. One thing many athletes find helpful is to enlist their physical therapist in writing a specific, personalized pain protocol—a way to plan what you might feel and how to react. Breathing exercises and soothing self-talk can also help reduce panic and tension, so you can make a clear, informed judgment about how to move forward.   Resources/links: Worksheets for Rebound, which include a pain log   A huge thank you to LEVER Movement, the exclusive sponsor of season 9 of The Injured Athletes Club podcast!

    Author and Athlete Dimity McDowell on the 27th Mile and Charting a New Path Forward

    " You don't want to think about a friend dying or going through a divorce or anything like that—you kind of don't want to even put that energy in the world. Same thing with running. You don't want to think about what it looks like, but the reality is, most of us are going to have to think about that. Not everyone can stand on the podium at age 70."   Dimity McDowell was first on our show back in 2022, when she'd just written a series of articles for (the late, great) Women's Running magazine about what happens when you can't run anymore.    As she describes in her return appearance this week, the overwhelming response to those pieces convinced her that there was more to the story. And a few weeks ago, her new book—The 27th Mile: How to Smooth the Rough Transition Out of Your Running Years—arrived to give athletes a literal handbook for how to move on.   Though it's focused on running, the advice she gives in this episode, and the book, can apply to anyone contemplating a shift in their athletic identity. She doesn't gloss over the grief—in fact, she explores different models of it, and how writing a running obituary can serve an important role. But she also makes it clear that there's a life of adventure and possibility on the other side, if you're patient and deliberate about getting there.   Resources/links: Dimity's Instagram The 27th Mile: How to Smooth the Rough Transition Out of Your Running Years Many Happy Miles Her previous appearance here, episode 75: Another Mother Runner's Dimity McDowell: Adventures Ahead   A huge thank you to LEVER Movement, the exclusive sponsor of season 9 of The Injured Athletes Club podcast!

    Coach Carrie Answers a Question on When Grief and Gratitude Collide

    " How do I cope with knowing that I may never get back to where I was—that this might be a permanent change for me?" —Emily   Many athletes—whether they're professionals or amateurs—have a strong athletic identity. When that's threatened by injury, especially if it's a permanent shift, it's normal to feel frightened and unmoored, Coach Carrie shares in this week's listener Q&A episode.   Whether you have to give up your sport altogether or must adjust the way you participate, you should allow yourself to feel grief at the path you're no longer taking. But even as you mourn the loss, see if you can also channel gratitude, tapping into all the things your participation brought you. Those two emotions can indeed co-exist, she points out.   From there, Carrie shares a lesson from author Dimity McDowell—a preview of next week's episode!—about finding a new pursuit, and a reminder that how you feel right now isn't necessarily how you'll feel forever. Even if it doesn't seem possible, hold open the hope that you'll find a new way to fulfill yourself going forward.   A huge thank you to LEVER Movement, the exclusive sponsor of season 9 of The Injured Athletes Club podcast!

    Triathlete and Coach Angela Naeth on Creativity, Curiosity, and Compassion

    "If I had to choose one injury or obstacle as the most difficult, it's really hard for me to do that because each one was very different in and of itself. I look back at them, and I'm honestly quite grateful I've been through it all, because it's changed who I am and it's made me who I am. You learn a lot when you're down and out."   Angela Naeth has been racing as a pro triathlete since 2008, and added gravel racing in 2022. In that time, she's had plenty of success, reaching the podium more than 40 times in 70.3 and Ironman events and placing in the top 8 at Ironman World Championships.    But she's also gone through her fair share of setbacks, from Lyme disease to stress fractures to, most recently, a posterior tibial tendon tear. Through her years of experience—and, she says, having gone to therapy after the end of a relationship—she's learned how to work through her emotions and accept where she is, then stay curious about what's next.   All that has led her to a place where she's thriving in her coaching, continuing to perform at a high level as a master's athlete, but also knowing that no matter what happens, she can keep challenging herself and finding new ways to grow and feel gratitude.     Resources/links: Angela's Instagram Angela Naeth Coaching The Middle Miles, the podcast Angela hosts with Amy Woods (including an in-depth episode about her hip injury)   A huge thank you to LEVER Movement, the exclusive sponsor of season 9 of The Injured Athletes Club podcast!

    Coach Carrie Answers a Question: Tell Yourself Something Worth Believing

    " My surgery was a success, and my doctors have given me the go-ahead to play again next season, but it's been over a decade since my initial injury, and I needed to hang up my skates. I've been sidelined for about 11 years.  I was always a really aggressive player, and I've never been one to shy away from a confrontational situation on the ice. But after my injury, I'm worried that I'll be too nervous to really dig in and go full throttle when it comes to checking or anything that brings me too close to the boards. I DESPERATELY want to play again, but I know myself well enough to know that I'm going to get incredibly frustrated and angry if I'm not able to play at the same caliber that I'm used to. Can you help with the mental block I'm experiencing around returning to my sport?" —Caitlyn   Whether you've been out for a few months or more than a few years, returning to sport after injury can come with its fair share of anxiety.    You're not the athlete you were back then, Coach Carrie says. That can be a challenge to your athletic identity, but you can take active steps to reduce the dissonance. For one thing, set new goals based on where you are now, so you're not continuously comparing yourself to the you of the past.   Also, pay attention to the stories you're telling yourself about your performance—there's always more than one narrative available. The one you choose to repeat affects your feelings of motivation, self-belief, and confidence. And if you find you'd like a little extra support, it's never a bad idea to reach out to a certified mental performance consultant or sport psychologist for guidance through the process.   Resources/links: Introduction to Mental Training for Injured Athletes e-course Coach Carrie's Goal-Setting Crash Course   A huge thank you to LEVER Movement, the exclusive sponsor of season 9 of The Injured Athletes Club podcast!
