How to Get Back to Your Best Version and Regain Confidence After an Injury

by Xavi Vall

Injuries are part of sports. But what is often not addressed enough is the mental and emotional impact they leave on players. Beyond the physical pain, there are persistent thoughts: “Will I play like before?”, “What if I get injured again?”, or “Can I recover my best version?”.

This article is for those athletes who have felt the impact not just on their bodies but also in their minds.

The Silent Battle of Returning to the Game

When an athlete returns after an injury, they often face a deeper challenge than just physical recovery. Lack of confidence, fear of failure, and the feeling that something inside them is not the same anymore.

These blocks often manifest in subtle but powerful ways:

  • Constant doubt: Questioning every move, every decision, every play.
  • Fear of pain: The thought that a similar injury could happen again, limiting your ability to fully commit.
  • Internal frustration: Feeling that you can’t replicate your previous level of performance, as if your best version is trapped in the past.

The Problem Is Not Always in the Body

While physical rehabilitation is crucial, the real challenge is often mental and emotional. These blocks are frequently tied to the experiences surrounding the injury—the moment it happened, the time lost, the opportunities put on hold. All of this creates a mark in your subconscious that keeps you stuck in fear and frustration.

To play with confidence again, you need more than just recovered muscles. You need to heal the emotions linked to the injury and reconnect with that version of yourself that knew how to dominate the game.

Revisiting the Past to Recover Your Best Version

One of the most transformative approaches for players in this situation is to embark on an internal journey to the past. This process helps you reconnect with:

  • Your best moments in sports: Visualizing those plays, that flow, and that mental state where you felt unstoppable.
  • The positive emotions that came with your game: Confidence, enthusiasm, determination.

Through this work, you don’t just recall memories—you integrate those sensations into the present, helping you shift your current mental state.

The Key Is Releasing the Blocks

For many players, these blocks are not just mental; they are also energetic. Emotions like fear, frustration, or guilt can get trapped in the body, affecting your performance without you even realizing it. By releasing these emotions and harmonizing your energy, you create space for your confidence, creativity, and flow to return.

How a Session with Me Can Help You

As a spiritual channeler, I work with you to identify the blocks that are limiting your game. In our sessions:

  • We revisit the moment of the injury to release trapped emotions.
  • We reconnect you with your best version, the one that knew how to perform at its highest level.
