813 words - 4 pages

Passion can be a driving force and anybody’s life. For athletes there is have a passion to push themselves to the highest level in order to excel at whatever their given sport may be. However, sometimes this passion can be both beneficial and destructive.

In cases like those the professional athlete’s tremendous physical condition helped lessen the severity of the injury and increase the speed of the recovery period.
After an injury the body needs time to heal and repair itself. According to Abby Sims, an orthopedic/sports physical therapist, at one week after sustaining an injury, soft tissues exhibit approximately 3% of pre-injury tensile strength. At three weeks post trauma, soft tissues have been found to function at about 30% of normal tensile strength. And at 3 months post trauma,...
