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?
At the beginning of every bike ride I've done (and by ride I mean a huge group ride/charity thing) people are falling at the start because of clip peddals.
I fall down all the time, trip, lose my balance, etc. Fell flat on my ass in college right in front of "hot bio boy" well walking to get food ... yeah, I'm cool like that.
Back in the running days I'd wipe out on average once every 6 months or so ... sometimes I'd escape injury free, sometimes I was all skinned up, sometimes I'd be limping home ...
