How can you train if you're constantly worried about getting injured?
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I used to hurt myself by training all the time.
I lift heavy weights and sprint, but I am so bad at it that I develop severe injuries.
My job is my sport so I have to make sure that I stay focussed on it. I train almost every day so it takes up a lot of my life and you don't want to bring any new distractions into your life.
When you're young, you don't think very far ahead. You just think in terms of the next day, the next week, the next competition. You don't think about injuries that could threaten your long-term health.
Injuries are part of the game, but sometimes we can avoid them by just practicing our techniques.
If you can lessen the chance of a bad injury by being strong, you have to do it.
I've been practicing for a while now and physically trying to get in better shape as well after the injuries.
Coping with injuries is always difficult for athletes because all we want to do is, basically, to have our best performances unhindered.
There is no single way to train, or do anything well. You have to keep thinking, keep doing things.
I just train hard and worry about the things I can control.
