Embracing imperfection in injury recovery | Claire Coates | TEDxUofM

Claire’s speech explores complicated topics that she has experienced through her career as an athletic trainer. In her profession, she walks the walk of her athletes and works to help them preform at their best. Through her work and personal experience, she has witnessed that when one sustains an injury, physical or mental, they are left with scar tissue who shapes who they are. She experienced this herself when she was sidelined during the COVID-19 pandemic after finding out she was pregnant. Her talk is engaging for all and demonstrates how your personal wellness can be related to the golden ratio.
