A junior college soccer player tears their ACL in practice during the middle of their season on a play they have run many times before. They are told they can’t play for six months. This is their first injury, constantly feels like they are in physical pain, has limited resources and few supportive friends and family. Their physical therapist lacks empathy. They like the extra time they have to study for their comprehensive exams, but often keeps thinking, "Who am I without soccer?"

A freshman college football player who is trying to earn a starting spot sprained their ankle during the first game of the season. The recovery time is about 3 week and the doctor said they will be cleared to return to play in about a week. But they often worry about if they will sprain it again. They have successfully recovered from their previous knee sprain last year and learned deep breathing helped keep them calm. They have a top-notch athletic trainer, but feels disconnected from the coaching staff and teammates.
