The Diary of an Injured Athlete: Rebuilding Self Behind the Uniform
By Paulus Graham
Length4h 15m
About this audiobook
The book they never handed you when you got injured.
When you get injured, you receive a thin folder filled with rehab protocols, timelines, and stretches. It’s useful, it’s necessary, and it’s woefully incomplete. Because nowhere in that folder does it tell you how to handle the version of yourself that is about to fall apart.
The Diary of an Injured Athlete is the book you would have written if you had the words.
