All the minor sports injuries you acquire over the years begin to multiply like flies when you get over 70.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I've had so many injuries in my life that it's ridiculous.
The thing about getting older is the injuries. You just get injured more often. You take time off, you come back, you get injured again and you never get in shape.
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.
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.
In sports... you play from the time you're eight years old, and then you're done forever.
Your body actually reminds you about your age and your injuries - the body has a stronger memory than your mind.
The more injuries you get, the smarter you get.
The older you get, the easier it is to get injured. But what I've learned the hard way is that the more excess weight you have, the more likely you are to get injured doing everyday things.
I think nowadays it's so easy as an athlete to become a statistic whether or not you lose everything or having trouble or whatever it may be.
When you're an athlete and you play every day and are conditioning yourself every year, the aging is gradual.
