Solving the injury puzzle
Injury reporting is all about gathering information on injuries in order to learn why and how they happen – and find ways to prevent similar injuries happening again. If we don’t know what’s happening, we can’t do our best to prevent it. So please help this process wherever possible.
How you can help solve the injury puzzle
First, don’t hide your injuries from your coach just so you can keep playing. Minor injuries can turn into something much more serious if they’re not given the chance to heal completely. This can have serious consequences, particularly with concussion.Second, provide information about your injury using the injury reporting forms below. This will help your club to monitor injuries across all its players. This is useful to spot trends which can then be addressed. For example, a spate of hamstring strains could highlight the need for improved physical conditioning programmes for players.
