I'm currently working with a player on my Elite Footballer Programme who has been out for almost 2 weeks after rolling his ankle.   Injuries happen in football, but the important thing is knowing how to react and what you can do to continue training around the injury.   If you don't find some way of maintaining a player's workload when they get injured, it can really increase the risk of re-injury if they suddenly join straight back into team training after having a break...   But there's another common mistake which this player almost fell into the trap of, I'm just pleased he was able to ask me for guidance before doing it...   Because he could have risked extending his injury by weeks or months when he's almost at the point of return.   I explain how to safely return to training after injury in this video, and the steps to follow.   If you, or your son or daughter often re-injure or don't feel body confident after returning from an injury, then listen to the Podcast. Your coach, James.   P.S I am now taking applications to join my all-new Elite Footballer Programme.   If you, your son or your daughter are being held back by a lack of strength, speed, stamina, consistency, resilience to injuries or confidence and you're aiming to go PRO and higher, then I would love to personally work with you.   >>> Click this link for full details and to BOOK A FREE CAREER ANALYSIS CALL: https://bit.ly/elite-programme-app

As the world goes in and out of lockdown, you could be excused for thinking that the world is against you, how are you supposed to become the player you dream of becoming when your season keeps getting stopped? Here's the thing...there is a very bright silver lining to the situation you're finding yourself in as a footballer. NEVER before have footballers had so much time to focus 100% on their own training and development.

Whilst their fitness decays day by day, you could be using this opportunity to get resourceful and train elements of fitness which every other footballer in history has only had 2-3 weeks per YEAR to train! Capitalise on this period right now and when you return to matches and training you'll have created a gap so big it could take them years to catch up with you.
