#36 - Siana Sylvester, M.Ed., CMPC | Mental Performance Coach Weighs in on Overcoming Injuries in Barbell Training

Even though we can do everything in our power to avoid injuries, they do occur in barbell and strength sports. We can only reduce the risk of injuries happening but we can't prevent them. We also can't completely prepare for all of the "what ifs" that come along with a potential future injury BUT there are some ways that we can make sure we're in a good position to face injuries head on if they do occur.    In this episode of the PRS Podcast we talk with Siana Sylvester, a mental performance coach who works with athletes and professionals to help them navigate various situations in a wide range of settings.    During this interview, Siana shares some valuable insight on how to navigate injuries and setbacks as well as prepare for them ahead of time by developing healthy habits, a strong support system, and a well-rounded identity withint and outside of your sport.    Whether you're struggling to get through an injury, find motivation to continue training, fear potential training setbacks in the future, or don't worry about those things at all, this is the PRS Podcast episode for you! This interview isn't only about what to do if you are injured or fear you might get injured, but it's also about developing a healthy identity that isn't solely defined by your sport.    Connect With Siana Web: https://mymentalflex.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mymentalflex/    If you're enjoying our podcast, please leave us a review on Apple or Spotify.   Join our Facebook Community for free form checks, live Q&As & more: https://www.facebook.com/groups/PRS.Barbell.Mastery    Got questions or guests you'd like to hear on the show? Submit them here: https://forms.gle/7Vu2HmgHoeQY9xM59    Get in touch with the show!
