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?
Athletes get hurt more than non athletes....alot more, and more severely. Especially contact sports.
As far ass swimming goes, many times, the one who excels is the one who can train without injury, or trains correctly through an injury.
I'm guessing you were tired when you had a shoulder problem in the fly? Sometimes you gotta know when to dump it. Your body usually gives you one warning....an instability, wobble, whatever, you gotta listen to it, especially in practice, know what it is, and adjust accordingly.
