This episode is a bit of a tough one, but it’s something every athlete and parent might face at some point: dealing with injuries and the resentment that comes with them.

Trust me, I’ve been through it all with my family’s adventures in extreme sports, and I get how challenging it can be.

When your kid is used to training every day and suddenly has to stop, frustration and impatience are inevitable. It’s completely normal, and we need to acknowledge these feelings rather than push them aside.

So let's get on the emotional roller coaster and find ways to overcome it together!

We talk about the ripple effect of injuries in extreme sports and how frustration and resentment show up for athletes and parents. We share a simple way to name feelings, talk them through, and keep identity and progress alive during recovery.

• the shock of forced rest and lost routine
• frustration as a normal first response
• resentment across parents, athletes and teammates
• why naming emotions reduces pressure
• short, regular check-ins that build trust
• keeping athletes connected while sidelined
• small wins, clear milestones and boundaries
• inviting stories to strengthen the support village
