“I obviously was devastated; there's no way around it. It hit me really hard, and I kind of allowed myself—I tend to do this when I'm going through something like emotional turbulence or something where I'm upset about something going on with my sport or personal life or whatever—I'm like, okay, I'm gonna give myself x amount of time to be sad. Lean into that. Cry it out, feel bad for yourself, like just all the things. And then when that time limit is over, it's like, all right, we did that, we grieved. Now, what can we control? What can we focus on moving forward?”   As a heptathlete who competes in seven different events in one track meet, Annie Kunz has to master living in the moment. If something goes wrong in a single event—if, say, she stumbles over a hurdle—she has to put it behind her and get set to perform her best again, and again, and again.   Kunz did just that at the 2020 U.S. Olympic Team Trials, recovering from a near-fall to win the competition, and a spot on Team USA, in dominant fashion. She went on to place sixth in the Games in Tokyo. And then, as she was preparing to compete for a spot at the 2022 World Athletics Championships, she tore her plantar fascia. Instead of reclaiming her spot among the world's best, she watched the event as a spectator.    In this week's episode, Annie explained how it felt to drop from such a high to such a low—and how she harnessed the mindfulness she typically employs in competition to navigate her recovery. She got support from a great team, including both a therapist and a mental coach, along with Omorpho, one of her sponsors, a company that makes innovative weighted vests and workout wear (and where she's now an equity partner). But she knew she had her own big role to play in her recovery, showing up for herself even on days when it felt hard—in her words, “behaving my way to success.”   Resources/links: Annie's Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok The hurdles at the 2020 U.S. Olympic Team Trials    Thank you so much to our sponsors for season 6:  Fluid Running, which has revolutionized fitness by bringing running to the deep water IceeNOW.com, which provides innovative injury prevention and recovery solutions for athletes ADAM Rehabilitation, creators of the ADAM Brace System, the most stable exercise system built to save the health of your shoulders Learn more and access exclusive discount codes for their products at buymeacoffee.com/rebound or by joining The Injured Athletes Club Facebook group.   You can subscribe to The Injured Athletes Club on Spotify, Stitcher, Apple Podcasts, Audible, Amazon Music, or wherever you get your podcasts, and if you like what you hear, please leave us a rating or a review in Apple podcasts.

Annie Kunz, professional heptathlete and olympian at the 2021 Tokyo olympics guides us through her journey in sports. She shares with us her journey with mental health, nutrition, and body image, and reminds us that we are all on our own journeys so we shouldn't compare ourselves to other athletes but instead embrace ourselves for who we are and strive to be the best, strongest, healthiest version of ourselves. Annie also discusses the importance of our period and how our cycles can help us to be more in touch with fueling or balancing our hormones. Annie continues to be an inspiration through her work on and off the track. “Keep showing up every day, even when it's hard, even when it feels like you aren't capable, and it doesn't feel fun. If you are passionate about something, you have a dream just keep showing up. If you show up every day and give your best, it will pay off in the end.” - Annie Kunz
