I am a recreational tennis player and latelty I have been training everyday and I loved the process. The only peoblem was I was too tense on court and therefore tiring myself needlesly and could not relax.. Last week I broke my ankle on court and suddenly all my training plans came to a halt. I had ankle sırgery and I will not be able to play for another 8 weeks, at least.. I still can't believe this. On the bright side, this sudden change helped me see things differently and loosen in my approach mentally. I totally see my injury on the positive side now. I was tensing more and more everyday and pushing harder, which did not help. But when everything stopped out of my control, I finally let go of the tense approach. Sometimes the solution is a broken ankle :)
Having a bad day today and so I thought I would search up sports psychology injury and you showed up .On Oct 28th I tore my Achilles tendon sparring in my Muay Thai training. I had surgery the week following to repair the tendon. It's been a little bit emotional obviously to go from being so filled with energy to being restricted in so many levels now. I just want to get back to my training and yet I can't the way I want to. I ended up searching up alternative crutches and stumbled onto the iwalk. Its been a great tool in my recovery with allowing me mobility to continue training, minus one left foot. I made a small video on my channel here showing the functional possibilities of it. But stupidly enough being injured only makes me want my recovery to go faster and then I think I am doing better and then I don't take it easy and then I end up agitating my injury and (yes another and as it seems this injury goes on and on) then I start getting further depressed and mad at myself for not doing what I should and shouldn't be doing. It's Dec 7th today and as you know this recovery process is going to be quite long (6 months +) Im not quite sure what I really feel like today but I know its not my usual self. I do know how hard this is to go through day and after day after day. Can you give me any advice towards what I can expect going on with this injury?? When will I really start feeling better about that this injury will heal?? Didn't know who to ask so the first I asked was you.
