p class="English"strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"span lang="EN-GB"Believe me, if you hurt yourself, you have to heal the injury properly. I have pretty much experience with it./span/strongspan lang="EN-GB" br /I was just sixteen and I loved volleyball so much. There was a match almost every weekend. Once, after a successful block I landed strait toward the opponent´s spiker´s instep under the net. I fell painfully on the floor. It wasn´t any bad injury, I just dislocated my knee. I should haven´t been able to play volleyball for one month, but I was so young and fired up in that game. I started to practise only two weeks after the injury and everything seemed okay for a month, for two months as well… but then I suddenly started to feel that something is wrong with my knee again. But I was so young and carefree. I just let it be. br /I started taking a part in the international U17 competition. (U17 means "for players under seventeen-year") It hadn´t taken long time and knee broke again during a plain practice and this time it wasn't that easy. It ended up with one teared muscle and broken meniscus. That meant for the first some rehabilitations, one surgery, another month of rehabilitations, then another surgery and another rehabilitations. It costed me totally two months at school and about one and half year without volleyball. br /I was totally broken that time. Physically as well as psychically. I stopped eating and I was closed in my room all the time. I even cut a part of my hair. Volleyball was my life and suddenly it was forbidden for me. I was scared. I felt that this injury may cause the end of my professional career. br /So than my parents and my psychologist agreed that it would be way better to send me to some other country next schoolyear. Just to relax my mind and make me think about something else than volleyball. br /em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"Well, it wasn´t successful./em /span/p
