ASMusic
High school athletes account for more than 2 million injuries, 500,000 doctor visits, and 30,000 hospital stays each year. There is a growing need to shift our focus to both the physical and mental healing of the athlete. ASMusic promotes the healing of the body, mind, and heart after these injuries. ASMusic is a passion project to help with the emotional healing of athletes following their injuries. Once an athlete is injured, the primary focus is on physical recovery and not on the unseen emotional stress. After enduring an injury a few years ago, I turned to music to help manage my disbelief, anger, sadness, and pain. Music was a pleasant diversion that helped calm my anxieties, ease my pains, and help me to stay positive during my recovery process. I want to create that same diversion for others recovering from injury. ASMusic is a website with an audio stimulator targeting injured athletes who are coping with emotional withdrawals. With ASMusic, the user will answer questions that track daily mood levels and recovery goals. ASMusic will then provide a suggested music playlist that can elevate their daily moods. The website includes additional resources to handle stress and anxiety, along with other rehab exercises that can supplement any current medical recovery plan.
