Episode Summary:

In this eye-opening episode of Sport Is Life, Ian Hawkins dives into the hidden cause behind recurring sports injuries and it’s not just physical. Using high-profile players like Cody Walker and Tom Trbojevic as case studies, Ian explores how suppressed emotions particularly unprocessed anger and stress, may be the missing piece in chronic injury recovery. Despite world-class rehab treatments, many athletes remain stuck in pain cycles because the deeper, emotional root causes are left unresolved.

Through personal stories and powerful examples, Ian explains how our bodies reflect what our minds and hearts refuse to process. Ian discusses how emotional repression, especially in men, shows up in the body and why conventional rehab often fails to address this.

Whether you're an athlete, coach, or someone who keeps hitting physical limits despite doing all the right things, this episode will change how you view performance, injury, and healing.

The takeaway? If the injury keeps returning, it's time to look within.
