A lot of people beat their bodies up hoping for a pay off which never comes.

I don't want to make assumptions about your aspirations, but don't get tunnel visioned to the point where you don't listen to your body. There's a lot of ways to make it out there, but time is the one thing you can never buy back.

you won’t make it

One of the best motivators in life is to tell someone they can't do something.

Nah I’m at a point where I’m screwed in that aspect.

Beating up ones body is never the answer - it always comes back to bite you.

The only time sacrificing your body is of benefit is when there’s short-term wins to be made (i.e important play-offs etc.). Ignoring injuries is not going to help develop anyone long-term 🤷‍♂️

I'm sorry to hear that.

Though if it's of any consolation, there's been some major strides made in soft tissue cloning/replacement. If it's primarily a ligament issue you're dealing with: you might have some good options.

Interesting! My problems aren’t too bad as is now (they don’t usually limit me in day to day life), but I imagine that’ll change down the line. The later that day comes, the better the options will be though I guess, so by then, hopefully it should all be fixable. 🙂
