How to Return to Sport after an Injury
An injury is always bad news, but for a netball player, somebody who needs their body in peak position, it can throw their lives onto a different tangent altogether. We don’t like to think about it, but an injury can spell the end of an athlete’s career, especially when it’s a recurring problem that is consistently pulling them from the game. Proper care immediately after an injury and the rehabilitation that comes after it is important to get a player back in the game. Healing times vary for each case, and re-inserting yourself into a training regime takes a lot of careful thought.
