Great Article in the NY Times About the Connection Between Mental Health and Injury Prevention

Hello everyone,

Just wanted to give you the heads' up that yesterday's NY Times featured a great article called 'Free the Mind and Fewer Injuries May Follow'. Incidentally, it is written by Sally Wadyka - a great journalist and successful 2006 Grand Teton Marathon finisher.

Her message is clear - reduce the impact of stress in your life and you are paving the road for athletic success and injury prevention. Succintly, the article reads:

Every athlete and coach knows that harnessing one’s mind can lead to feats of coordination and finesse on the field. But what many are just learning is that taking care of an athlete’s emotional health — and managing stress in particular — can help prevent injury.
