Overuse Injury, Substance Use, and Resilience in Collegiate Female Athlete

# Background Overuse injury is a common stressor experienced by female collegiate athletes and is often underreported. In response, athletes may develop negative coping skills such as substance use. Alternatively, resilience is a modifiable trait that may positively influence response to musculoskel...
