thanks for answering my question before !
"1. Progress slowly and with patience. Rest immediately when you feel pain or discomfort.
2. Work at establishing a full range of motion as long as it doesn’t hurt.
3. Gradually strengthen the injured area and begin light workouts that do not strain the injured part.
4. When you feel that you are ready to work with a ball, play exclusively with your other leg.
5. If you itch for playing the game or training before you body allows it, try to improve yourself through nonphysical means. Read books and work on your visualization techniques. by Expert 22:10:28 Saturday 17 July 2004"
what can i do work on visualization techniques. |
Visualization is a fairly unorthodox training method that requires you to mentally recreate a specific body movement. Unlike daydreaming, your mind is not supposed to drift around aimlessly. You need to visualize successfully executing one particular technique over and over again as if you are conducting an imaginary training session.
You can do these exercises on the train, while riding in a car or practically whenever you have free time. Ideally, you should start with a simple skill like the instep drive or the push pass and eventually build up to complex movements like dribbling around opponents and so on. While recreating the mechanics, you need to image all the subtle motions/feelings such as approaching the ball, planting the supporting foot, swinging, following through, etc. Try to involve as many of the senses as possible: how does it feel planting your foot on the floor, which part of the ball do you keep your eye centered on, how much strain is put on the muscles of your legs...
Visualizing different techniques stimulates the same motor memory patterns that are active during the physical execution of the movement. It has been scientifically proven that athletes (including weightlifters) who use visualization develop more rapidly. by Expert 18:03:59 Monday 9 August 2004 |
