<p>I'm sure many of you ccers are part of sports team, you overachievers you, and I'm sure you've had injuries from those sports teams. My question is, how did you tell your coach that you had an injury that made it difficult to run and thus difficult to participate in practice? I don't want to look like a baby :/</p>
<p>Eh, you tell him straight up that you’re hurting and ask if you can opt for a lighter practice instead. Coaches don’t want to see you hurt yourself further and no one’s going to think you’re a baby for trying to prevent additional injury.</p>
<p>Well, what sport is this?</p>
<p>Assuming it’s a serious injury and you aren’t just being a baby, you have to just do it. Your coach doesn’t want your injury to get worse. Have you been to the doctor or the trainer or anything? It might sound better to your coach if you tell him or her that a professional says you shouldn’t be participating in the sport until your injury is healed.</p>
<p>It’s field hockey, and I’m pretty sure I pulled my groin. It hurts to run, anyways, and today’s sprint conditioning day :O. </p>
<p>Guess it’s time to man the manbulance. Oh well. I’ll bring my apush homework to practice.</p>
<p>You go to the trainer, have him/her check it out, then report back to your coach…</p>
<p>Groin injuries are the worst. It doesn’t sound serious when you complain about it, but it hurts like a b****. Agree with Jersey - go to the trainer.</p>
<p>^^ exactly</p>
<p>tan char</p>
<p>what’s a trainer? or the difference between that and a coach</p>
<p>^ Really…?</p>
<p>Its the person at school that looks at athlete’s injuries and does stuff with that.</p>
<p>^ I’m not sure that all schools have one.</p>
<p>^ but still, one has to be present at all games.</p>
