29: Why am I hesitant to return to sport?
Episode 29
Tuesday, 7 April, 2026

In this episode, I break down why returning to sport after injury isn’t just physical, it’s neurological.Using Karl Friston’s Free Energy Principle, I explain why the brain resists uncertainty and how that shows up as hesitation, fear, or lack of trust in the body.I walk through how building physical capacity and mental distress tolerance helps update these predictions, and why gradual exposure, from gym work to full gameplay, is key to restoring confidence.
