The joys of sport 🏉
Yesterday I travelled to Dundalk to play in a warm up game for Ulster ladies. Unfortunately at the end of the warm up I strained my Soleus muscle. I was in pain and mentally fried.
There is nothing worse than building yourself up for a performance only to be let down by injury but unfortunately it's the name of the game. I was straight home and put all recovery protocols in place.
Woke up this morning with slight pain and better mobility in the leg. Happy to say only a few days and I will be back on the pitch. This isn't the case for all injuries or athletes but I am fortunate to have such a good recovery rate and know how to treat my body in the best way to get me back to 100%.
The main thing is to remain positive and not let your head rule your thoughts as much as it's a hard pill to swallow. Injuries heal it's just how we approach them ✌️
