About this listen
In this episode, we unpack how the stress of navigating insurance systems can mirror, and even amplify, the same psychological mechanisms that increase risk for injury in sport. Drawing on the stress–injury model, we explore how chronic stressors like financial uncertainty, delayed pre-authorizations, and lack of organizational support heighten overall stress. Through the lens of the multilevel model of sport injury, we zoom out to see how these pressures operate not only at the intra- and interpersonal levels but across institutional, cultural, and political layers. Whether you’re an athlete, practitioner, or consultant, this episode invites reflection on how institutional factors, not just personality, history of stressors, or coping resources, as noted within the stress-injury model, can shape well-being, recovery, and overall return to participation performance.
