Pain

The major side effect of playing a sport is the pain you can receive. Whether it is growing pain, injury pain, or being sore from constantly playing. There is good pain and bad pain. Injury pain is an example of bad pain that you do not want to have, and growing pain and your muscles being sore are good pain. Which pain would you rather have, pain that means you are working hard and that you are becoming stronger, or pain that is constantly hurting and you have to work your strength back up for that muscle? I think every single person would agree with the hard working pain; soreness.

Sore muscle pain feels like your muscles are so tight and that you need to stretch them all day long. If you have worked really hard, lifting, doing agilities, playing a sport you are bound to be sore. Now the amount of soreness relies on how hard you pushed yourself, or how long you have been doing a specific workout. Usually the soreness in your muscles are worse when you have participated in a certain activity for awhile. The is because your muscles are not use to that activity, so they become sore but this is a great sign, because you know your muscles are working and becoming strong. You know you are sore and you worked extremely hard when you squat to sit on the toilet and you just fall on it, because it hurts to go in the squatting position. Even though you have pain for five to six days, it is the type of pain you are proud of and don't mind.

Injury pain absolutely sucks, because it hurts like a mother trucker and you lose all the strength in that muscle, so you have to rebuild up that strength. This take time and you have to go through pain while strengthening. Some people come back stronger than before if they work hard and do what their therapist tell them to do. There are a lot of negative things that come out of an injury. You have to sit out of a sport you love and some confidence in that muscle is lost. The key is to keep working hard and to not worry about injuries and it wont happen to you.
