Injuries are not a good thing for anybody but especially athletes. Today I started my shoulder rehab. It was not fun at all , at first I was very happy because I was going to get better and all that but i was wrong. To get better it has to hurt and burn a lot more before i start seeing some changes. The trainer told me to do two sets of twenty five repetitions and that was one of the hardest thing Ive ever had to do. I was using muscles that I did not know I had, it was burning everywhere in my shoulder. See that's not where it ends I thought it was at least i was hoping it was, it continues with many other exercises that move different muscle to help me heal.

I ask myself how is this helping me if it hurts so much? I do not understand. When i ask the trainer she said that in order for my shoulder to get better they had to make the muscles around it stronger. It helps buy taking stress away from the bone and sharing it with the muscles that surround it.

It was hard and long but i was able to manage it and its all ready starting to feel better during practice. They say i should be completely healed in two or three months. This is a minor injury that happened to me last year at the end of the season. I cant imaging what would of happened if it would of been a worse recovery than the one I'm already in.

There was a girl in the volleyball team that tor her meniscus during the season and did not know until the break. When she came back from the break she had to have surgery to cut out the bad parts. She is going to be out for a very long time, just like some of the other players that also have had knee injuries or ankle injuries.

being around injuries and sports all my life i wanted to study Sports medicine. then i found out that their is actually nothing that is called that but that you have to become a doctor. After you become a doctor you have to specialize in the sports medicine area. I was really exited to study all this until one of my friends started studying and told me all about it and it just did not sound for me.

Anyways now i have change my mind and i think that my final mayor is going to be centered around business. Hopefully this will be my last change so i can focus on my studies and get it over with.
