For Athletes Working Back From Injury, Interruption, or Setback

Returning to sport is never just physical. It’s mental, emotional, instinctive, and deeply tied to identity. This coaching is for athletes who are rebuilding confidence, reconnecting with their body, and learning to trust their instincts again.

Return-to-Sport Coaching Helps You:

  • reconnect with your body’s signals

  • shift from fear and hesitancy into clarity

  • rebuild instinctive confidence

  • recalibrate your pacing and power

  • choose cleaner lines as you return to intensity

You don’t just come back to your sport, you come back more aligned.

Sport Transition Coaching

For Athletes Stepping Out of Wild Sport and Into a New Identity

Leaving a sport, whether planned or unexpected, changes everything. Structure disappears. Identity shifts. The Wild instinct that once defined you needs a new place to land. This coaching helps you navigate the transition with clarity, steadiness, and purpose.

Sport Transition Coaching Helps You:

  • understand who you are beyond performance

  • build new rhythms and ways of moving

  • reconnect with motivation in a healthy way

  • integrate your athletic identity into your next chapter

  • create a future that feels grounded and true

You don’t lose who you were, you evolve it.

Recovery Team Approach

A Coordinated Approach to Athlete Recovery and Transition

GJ works alongside physical therapists, medical providers, trainers, and coaches to support the athlete’s whole system, not just the physical protocol. He bridges the gap between rehab, performance, and the lived experience of returning or transitioning.

GJ Supports What Providers Can’t Address Alone:

  • fear, hesitation, and reactivity during recovery

  • restoring trust in the body

  • pacing and overtraining risks

  • emotional and identity changes

  • nervous system regulation under pressure

This integrated approach helps athletes move forward with clarity, stability, and confidence.
