Overcoming An Injury: A Personal Reflection And Realization

From the Swimming World website...
By EMILIA MARTINEZ
Is it a real pain, or am I just sore? Or maybe I’m just tired. I can keep going. I can keep swimming. It is fine. It does not hurt “that much” anymore. These are some of the thoughts I had in my head for more than two years, and that probably most swimmers have had in their careers. The idea of having an injury can be scary, especially at a young age or in the middle of a college career.
