I seem to get hurt all the time doing the stupidest things. I dislocated my shoulder swimming fly, pulled my hamstrings in both legs stretching to far in yoga, broke my wrist when I fell snowboarding...stupid easily preventable things.
My mom says I get hurt because I'm trying to do things out of my scale because I'm not an athlete. Now I'm not in 100% amazing shape, but I consider myself to be an athlete. But how I can I become a better athlete if I keep getting hurt during my training? I don't often go out of the scope of what I feel I can accomplish, so it's discouraging to get hurt doing something that is easy for me.
So the question I pose, is how athletic do you think you are and how often do you get hurt? Do you think you get hurt less because you are an athlete? Do you think you would get hurt less if you were more athletic?
Kyra,
So, what color collar will you be wearing at Nationals?!? So I can pick you out easier! Any special treats you like- Milk Bones, Beggin' Strips, Pig Earz? :p
Truthfully though. I do remember having a tough time adjusting to my height. I went from about 5'4"-5"6 in 7th grade. My feet also went from 8-9 1/2. My last stop growing was when I was 18- I grew about 1/2 inch. I'm 5'8" now and I guess I'm beginning the process of getting shorter... sigh.
