In today's episode of Coaches Corner, Morgan and Darryl further discuss Darryl's article on The Pain Teacher. We all have faced injuries at some point in our life, and let's face it, they suck. Taking time off is hard when you've been working your butt off trying to pursue your version of excellence, and now it feels like you've taken two steps in the wrong direction. 

Sometimes an injury is inevitable, but sometimes our body (The Pain Teacher) is telling us to slow down and we ignore the signs and make things worse.

"I called it the great Pain Teacher for a reason, because it teaches you about yourself. So, as long as you don't run from it and you approach pain with a curious mindset and wanting to understand more about your body, I think you'll learn something about yourself."

If you haven't read the article yet, I highly suggest you give it a read before you jump into the podcast. But without further ado, we hope you enjoy the episode, and if you have any questions about pain, mindfulness or meditation talk to Darryl at Blended Athletics. He doesn't have social media, but you can find him most days in The Loft.
