Club championship. Pre-season. A congested fixture list with no gaps in it.
Tuesday training.
Weekend match.
Midweek game bolted on because the fixtures backed up.
Saturday/Sunday fixture again.
Somewhere in there, something starts talking to you.
Tight hamstring. Sore groin. Achy knee. Calf that โjust needs a warm-up.โ
But you can still get through a session, so you tell yourselfโฆ

Until the turnaround between games gets shorter, and it isnโt.
This time of year thereโs no off-season to hide an injury in. No two-week gap to let something settle on its own. Whatever youโre carrying gets asked to perform again in a few days, whether itโs ready or not.

Dropping it because the fixtures are busy is usually when things start to slip.

What we do and when we do it changes depending on how many days youโve got until the next game.

If the same hamstring, groin, knee or calf keeps flaring up every time the games come thick and fast, thatโs not bad luck. Thatโs a pattern.
Youโve put too much into this championship / season to be managing the same ni**le every single week.
