Welcome to Beyond the Injury—a practical and empowering handbook designed to guide you through the mental side of injury recovery. I’m Daniel Gama, a Mental Performance Consultant with a background in clinical kinesiology and performance psychology, and this book is your companion in rebuilding both body and mind.
Inside, you’ll discover how mental skills can accelerate recovery, strengthen resilience, and help you come back not just physically healed, but mentally sharper and stronger.

We’ll also explore the role of positivity, gratitude, and communication, and how these practices can shift your mindset and enhance recovery. A comprehensive case study ties it all together, helping you create your own personalized cognitive skills plan that keeps you focused, motivated, and prepared for peak performance when you return.
This isn’t just about bouncing back—it’s about growing through the process. By the end, you’ll have the tools to navigate injury recovery with resilience, clarity, and confidence, and to step forward stronger than before.
