It's very difficult for my body to recover after workouts now that I'm older, so we have to keep them short, which means they're extremely difficult and intense. It sucks.
Even now with the operation, with the damage done, my ankle probably is never going to be back to 100 per cent.
Defense doesn't break down on the help, it breaks down on the recovery.
I would go into practice pushing the body despite any injuries. It's a good thing but a bad thing. It's good because your body is quick to adapt, but it's a bad thing because you are forcing your body, and it can't recover as well.
Healing wasn’t always the best thing. Sometimes a hole was better left open. Sometimes it healed too thick and too well and left separate pieces fused and incompetent. And it was harder to reopen after that.
European football games or evening games seem to take a lot more out of you because you don't sleep that night. And as you get older, it gets worse.
Three surgeries on the same limb, that's a tall order.
My immune system just really struggled with the medicine after the appendix and I kept on getting ill. People said I was injured but I was never injured.
You can tell if you feel like you are unable to recover from the workout you had. It's still hard to breathe. You don't have energy. You are sore instantly. You just can't seem to get enough water. Then it's too hard.
