how to deal with a sports
injury
think of your future before
playing with an injury
You're doing well, having your best season to date
in your sport and suddenly you have to deal with a sprained ankle or
a torn ligament in your knee. It's not a season ending injury, but
you will miss several weeks you weren't planning on missing. How do
you respond and what do you do?
Can you bear the pain and continue to play knowing
you are not 100%? Should you take the full rehabilitation time only
to miss numerous weeks of the already short playing season? Your
pain tolerance is high, but you realize exactly how swollen your
ankle or knee is. You hate the isolation from your team and you feel
like you let your teammates down. You truly feel helpless. What do
you do?
First and foremost you have to think about your
future both with athletics and without. Look at the possibility of
full recovery with you being able to pick up where you left off or
taking little time to get back to where you left off. With proper
recovery you are less likely to injure the same body part again and
you will be better able to do all your sport skills without pain.

Also you need to look twenty to thirty years
down the road and think about the fact that you want to be able to
lead a fairly normal daily life. If you don't rehabilitate correctly
now it could effect your ability to function later on in life. That
knee or ankle will more than likely always give you some problems.
Note, with some injuries you will always have recurring problems,
but the more care you take in proper rehabilitation the better.
The other alternative is rushing your recovery
time only to be in pain the rest of the season or the rest of your
career. You could possibly get a more serious injury because you did
not give your previous injury adequate rest and rehabilitation.
If a coach or trainer is rushing you to come back
to participation, this is the time to sit down and talk about how
you feel and do you think you are ready.

Could your early return possibly hurt the team
performance rather than help because you are not completely 100%?
Open communication between you, your coach, your trainer or doctor,
and your parents will make the rehabilitation process a lot less
stressful. Yes, there is the question of being tough and dealing
with pain, but is the pain worth the pain later on in your career
and in your life?
Failure or losing never seems to come when you expect it. No
athlete sets out to fail, we plan to succeed.

has shown that physical
activity mitigates the loss of muscle strength and endurance,
indicating that if older adults focus energy on muscular, skeletal,

superior quality of life well into old age.
