If you play football, there's going to be a 100 percent injury rate. Something is going to be bothering you. So I just try to focus on the things that I can do to help my team.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
As a football player, you just deal with injuries. It's all part of the football game. I've dealt with injuries as much as everybody else. People have dealt with worse injuries than I've dealt with. It's all part of the game, all part of getting that tackle.
Injuries is a part of a sportsmen life; you have to live with it. You can't be down with that; it is not gonna help you.
You can't let injuries dictate the outcome of a football game. You have to persevere and keep fighting. That is how we are. If there is a blade of grass to defend or take, we do it.
I don't do too much outside of football during football season, because this is my job and I take it seriously. I don't do too much, don't really go out at all that much, don't eat out or anything, try to stay focused and stay to myself.
There is only one thing I want to do here, and that is play football to the best of my ability. If I let things start distracting me, I'm not going to be able to do that, which will jeopardise the team as well.
Injuries are part of the game, but sometimes we can avoid them by just practicing our techniques.
Coping with injuries is always difficult for athletes because all we want to do is, basically, to have our best performances unhindered.
I am more mature now and know how to deal with certain situations in football. It's not all about highs; there are also lows, but I can deal with it. Football is a hard business.
I love playing sports. I'm overly eager and aggressive and not very skilled, so it leads to many small injuries.
I'll continue to tackle back. I want to help the team as much as I can, and if I need to get back and defend, I will.
