Open for stories30 October to30 November 2026
Every injury
has a story
Told in your own words
We are collecting short injury stories from people of any age. When someone who is injured hears how you recovered, they can use what worked for you.
What to share: a 30 to 60 second clip that covers
- What your injury was and how it happened
- Something that surprised you along the way
- What ended up happening
- A lesson that could inspire someone else
Would you rather write it? That works too. The form has space for a written story.
The open call runs for one month, from 30 October to 30 November 2026.
Every injury has a story
From 30 October to 30 November 2026, The Body Storytellers is collecting injury stories from people of any age, told in their own words. Each one helps someone else notice an injury sooner and recover better.
- Open the form. It asks a few short questions about your injury.
- Share a 30 to 60 second clip. Say what your injury was, how it happened, something that surprised you, what ended up happening, and a lesson that could inspire someone else.
- Join the Archive. With your permission, your story is added to the Injury Archive on this site.

Common questions
Who can share a story?
Anyone, at any age. Student-athletes, teammates, coaches, parents, or anyone who has been through an injury and recovered from it.
Does my injury have to be serious?
No. Small injuries that went unnoticed are exactly the stories that help others most.
Will my story be public?
Only if you say yes. Recordings go to The Body Storytellers team, and we ask before adding anything to the Archive.
What if I miss the deadline?
The open call closes on 30 November 2026. After that you can still send your story with the form above.
