Aidan Hutchinson says about 10 days after snapping his leg he noticed he had a victim mindset, and so he kept reminding himself he couldn’t let his own mind beat him “I was grieving a little bit, which is okay. I was frustrated. I was feeling sorry for myself. Everything just kept stacking up.” “In that moment… I was like, ‘I cannot let my mind beat me.’ My mind was getting so overwhelmed by being a victim and the grief and everything. And I literally had to flip right there.” “I was like, F— that. You’re not going to beat me. I kind of made it into a competition in my own mind. ‘I’m getting over this thing. I’m going to be back. I’m going to be back by the Super Bowl. I don’t care what it takes.’” “I was in pain like I always was, but I had a mentality of, ‘F— this. F--- you, body. You’re not going to beat me. Pain, you’re not going to beat me.’ I’m going to keep pushing through.” “These damn stairs are going to get the best of me? I was hell-bent on doing all the recovery I could. That flipping mindset for me was pivotal. From that moment on, life got a lot easier because I had something I could fight in my head.”
