Recovery requires both physical therapy and mindset work. Focus on comparing yourself to your past self, not others. Building a resilient mindset can prevent and aid recovery. Chronic injuries can become part of one's identity. Process focus leads to better long-term results than outcome focus. Weight training is crucial for older athletes' resilience.
