Superb story and message LM. Very much on point about the distinction between fear and pain. I think athletes and many sportspeople for that matter develop a slightly different relationship to physcial pain.

That said it never ceases to amaze me what our bodies can do if we trust and let it. Provided we understand our true limits, they are excellent at adapting and healing. I think your story taps beautifully into this.

As a teacher it must feel immensley rewarding to see a student push through and grow. I see this as a glowing testament to your coaching skills, patience and kindness.

I love that you gifted us with a holistic explanation between mind and body. Got me thinking about my Pilates class tomorrow.
