First XV Coach Cast Episode 22- Coaching Injured Clients & Athletes

In this episode of FXV Coach Cast, I dive into one of the most challenging and nuanced topics in coaching: working with athletes and clients who are injured. I talk through frameworks for managing pain levels, when to modify exercises versus change them entirely, and why “don’t work out at all” is often the wrong answer.
