This is a must-read article for injured athletes and their coaches, that offers practical coping strategies used by top professional athletes like Jake Wightman, Sonia O’Sullivan and Ciara Mageean.

He called in to work the next day, asking for an extra day off. No fanfare, just a humble man who proved that ordinary people can achieve extraordinary things.
