520 3    |a Failure to properly address the psychological component of injury recovery can directly undermine the rehabilitation process (Cupal, 1998). There is a notable lack of research regarding the experience of recovery from a serious injury. In order to design appropriate intervention strategies to address psychological factors in injury rehabilitation, one must first understand the experience of injury recovery process. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to understand the experience of recovery from a serious injury from the perspective of the athlete. This study involved 11 collegiate or professional athletes who participated in phenomenological interviews. The interviews were then transcribed, analyzed, and analyzed for suitable meaning units. From the meaning units a thematic structure was constructed detailing the themes as they relate to the overall experience of the injured athlete. An athlete’s athletic identity was found to be the greatest predictor for the psychological reaction to the injury. Frustration was found to be the most complex theme experienced in the recovery process, and fear was the most persistent. Social support seemed to be the strongest tool for mitigating and potentially eradicating the negative themes of frustration and fear.
