The Mental Side of Injury: How To Adapt and Overcome With Burn Boot Camp Member Francesa Fontanelli
Description
“Mental toughness is the ability to achieve personal goals in the face of pressure from a wide range of different stressors”.
Francesa is a member-turned-trainer at Burn Boot Camp Clifton Park, NY. She is a fighter and inspiration to us all, after surviving a traumatic accident involving an electric scooter & car collision, in which witnesses didn’t think she’d survive. Francesca has been on the road to recovery since May of this year and has made incredible strides. She attended our annual Summit event this past July, just a few months after the accident, and held her own with grace and strength. Today we’re going to talk about overcoming great obstacles and how to stay positive during dark times.
