Mental Strength Through Setbacks

Injuries are part of sport—but their impact goes beyond the physical. Pain, lost training time, and uncertainty about performance can create stress, frustration, and anxiety. Athletes often struggle with motivation, confidence, or even identity while sidelined, making recovery as much a mental and emotional journey as a physical one.

At Carolina Counseling for Athletes, I work with teen and adult athletes across South Carolina to help you stay grounded, regain focus, and rebuild confidence—it’s about supporting your mental and emotional recovery as much as your physical one.

How I Help

Whether it’s a break or repetitive strain injury, every injury is different, and so is every athlete. Together, we’ll:
Addressing mental health disorders affecting athletes

Face the frustration and fear head-on, naming what’s holding you back mentally.

Improving goal focus while managing competitive pressure

Develop strategies to stay motivated, even when progress feels slow.

Building confidence to manage performance anxiety and pressure

Rebuild confidence in your body, your skills, and your ability to perform again.

Managing identity challenges tied to athletic roles

Navigate identity shifts so you feel like yourself even when sidelined.

Building confidence while addressing emotional challenges

Plan for a strong return, not just physically, but with clarity and resilience.

Who This Is For

South Carolina athletes who need mental and emotional support during injury and recovery, including:

  • Athletes sidelined by injury who feel disconnected from their sport.
