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?
I also think I'm the only person in the world you can fall off flip-flops and roll my ankle.
nope! there's at least two of us, cause i've definitely done that a time or two. and i gather fort has done the same thing too. so i guess that makes at least three. ;)
and i'd like to respectfully disagree with your mom- you're getting hurt because you are an athlete. the only people who don't get hurt occasionally are couch potatoes. at least IMO.
