Same training routine today. With some passing and possession drills, which I am sure the blue team (my team) will tell you that we got shafted. It happens, makes you work harder. Unfortunately in one of the last possession games I planted my left foot and my knee and hip gave away and I landed in pain. I was scared because the pain was quite sharp. I managed to get up on my own, and hobble in to see the physio. Turns out the knee was fine, just weakened, and the hip had just been over stretched. I was informed to take an ice bath after training, and then on our day off not to foam roll or stretch it and just let it rest, along with icing it. After training we headed to the ice baths and we had a 10min session in them.

Then we headed out for lunch. I was still freezing from the ice bath because I didn’t bring pants, just shorts to change into, and the weather outside wasn’t the warmest. Eventually I warmed up. We we out to a new coffee/tea place after lunch and it was a nice place. I decided to get a hot chocolate this time!

 

Eventually we got home and I continued to do more and more visa preparation along with speaking with someone on the phone who is helping with my next move to another team in England. Other than that, my evening was filled with the olympics and conversations with my family.
