On really hot days, I try to motivate friends and family to come into the pool for an aqua jogging session which I teach.

I would never discredit the sport or my opponent by reading my injury list before or after the fight. I’ve always thought it’s a very underhanded thing to do, and it’s a very cowardly thing to do, to come out and say, ‘I’m hurt,’ particularly if you win a fight.

We lived in Colorado, and my parents were outdoorsy mountain people. My father would always say, ‘Go out and don’t come back until you have something to show me.’ Which meant he wanted me to come back with a scraped knee or an injury. When I went out to play, I felt like I’d better get hurt.

Mandy Bujold
I never worry about injury. When you go out there, you'

Freddie Ljungberg
It’s one thing to be 100 percent and go out and play football feeling great. It’s another thing when you’re not feeling good. You’re sick, or you got a nagging injury, and you gotta go out in the cold and go across the middle where a guy’s coming full speed at you trying to kill you.

I just feel like it’s my job to take care of my body. I play a contact sport, 99.9 percent injury rate. As far as being injury-prone or getting hurt, it’s going to happen. But it’s my job to take care of my body, come week in and week out.

Harley Pasternak
When you get a typical injury, you’re given a time frame; you’re gradually working towards getting back. With concussions, there is not generally a time frame or a span where you’re feeling better. You feel like you’re getting better, and it can be one day and you’re back to where you started.
Sidney Crosby
We, as a league, we have not in any way changed our desire to do everything we can to make it safe, make it safe as to head injury. We hope and will support any data that would give us more insight into any short- and long-term consequences. We would support that.
Jerry Jones
If you feel like you’ve got a concussion, if you don’t know, if you take the test whatever, if you feel like you’ve got a concussion, the biggest thing is rest, man. Cause you usually compound your injury so much if you go back out there, and we all know that now.

My knee injury was something serious. To go six months before I could even jog is pretty serious.
Jimmy Graham
Whenever you’re coming off a serious injury, it takes time to heal.
Daniel Snyder
When you have an injury, you are hindered a little bit.
Ashton Eaton
The injury that ended my time in football turned out to be serendipitous. I tore my Achilles while training for a pending tryout with the New York Giants, and when it snapped, so did my career, basically. That’s what led me to gain the confidence to get into the acting world on my own terms.
John David Washington
My second bout with Cro Cop was the hardest. I had a serious injury in my eye during the fight and he knocked me out in the second round. I think it was the closest I’ve been to death.

Buster Posey
I greatly appreciate that people would like to see me have one more match or comeback or, ‘Daniel Bryan got cleared, so why can’t you?’ I will never be cleared. Mine is a completely different injury. He had neck issues, but it wasn’t his neck issues that retired him, actually. It was the concussion issues.
Edge
The very essence of civil liberty certainly consists in the right of every individual to claim the protection of the laws, whenever he receives an injury. One of the first duties of government is to afford that protection.

Petr Cech
I consider any gun that can chamber a round and send a projectile down its barrel at a high rate of speed into my body – causing me injury or death – to be an assault weapon.
Henry Rollins
I don’t want there to be a time where I’m ‘too old’ to box on, or where an injury retires me in or out of the ring.
George Groves
My fear is dying badly, through illness or injury. But

My fear is dying badly, through illness or injury. But what a glorious demise it would be to burn up in space.
William Shatner
I am aware that I have come to the end of my martial times, but training with pain I want no longer. My body is battered by countless trainings. I collected nine operations; the body has become prone to injury.
Mirko Cro Cop
While we were shooting ‘Baahubali,’ I had a knee injury, and a few months later, Prabhas injured his shoulder. Those two injuries meant a break of around five months from the schedule. So around that time, I was doing absolutely nothing, and Neeraj Pandey called me with ‘Baby.’
Rana Daggubati
A traitor is a betrayer – one who practices injury, while professing friendship. Benedict Arnold was a traitor, solely because, while professing friendship for the American cause, he attempted to injure it. An open enemy, however criminal in other respects, is no traitor.

Messi gets kicked by everybody, and he gets up and carries on. Doesn’t scream, doesn’t fake injury.
David Moyes
I didn’t want to keep fighting and risking injury to my body when the pay wasn’t where I needed it to be. I made a strategic decision to give it up after I fought Tito. I always planned on coming back when the sport was able to right itself and had a brighter future.
Frank Shamrock
I worked in the pit for more than 20 years and never had a serious injury.

If I avoid injury, who knows how long I can go?
Karch Kiraly

Christopher Guest
After my head injury, I was, like, bipolar, an emotional wreck.

Mardy Fish
I’ve never had a serious injury.
Dean Potter
I know with my knee injury, I didn’t have the type of medical technology we have today. If I could’ve had what we had now, I probably could’ve been back out in three months. I didn’t have that.
Gale Sayers
I have felt in my head that I would like to play, but then you listen to your body and accept it might be better that you do not play every game immediately after an injury.
Christian Eriksen
Because we are in a war situation, this can sometimes be dangerous work. But guys like A.D. Flowers and his technicians just take it in stride and get on with the job. In four years, we’ve never had a serious accident or injury working with all the explosions.
Vic Morrow
In football, anything can happen. You can have an injury, and then you won’t play at the highest level anymore. If you don’t have a diploma, what then?
Romelu Lukaku
I’ve played with IVs before, during and after games. I’ve played with a broken hand, a sprained ankle, a torn shoulder, a fractured tooth, a severed lip, and a knee the size of a softball. I don’t miss 15 games because of a toe injury that everybody knows wasn’t that serious in the first place.
Kobe Bryant
The Tort Tax adds to the cost of everything we buy because businesses and manufacturers have to cover themselves and their employees – just in case they get sued by a greedy personal injury lawyer.
Dennis Hastert
Consequently it will often happen there will be a desire of particular objects, in cases where they cannot be obtained without manifest injury to others.
Joseph Butler
As a player, I was fortunate to work with coaching and medical staffs that underscored the importance of utilizing injury prevention exercises, which contributed to my healthy and long playing career.
Cobi Jones
I never struggled with injury problems because of my preparation – in particular my stretching.
Edwin Moses
It does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods or no God.
Thomas Jefferson
Our careers are only but so many years, so when you have to wipe out an entire season basically because of injury it’s kind of disappointing.
Jason McCourty
Not only is yoga excellent for flexibility, but it is also a great tool for longevity and injury prevention, as it allows for internal body awareness.
Kyle Shewfelt
One of the duties of fortitude is to keep the weak from receiving injury; another, to check the wrong motions of our own souls; a third, both to disregard humiliations, and to do what is right with an even mind. All these clearly ought to be fulfilled by all Christians, and especially by the clergy.
Saint Ambrose
I’ve played lots of games carrying an injury, but people don’t value what I do for Barcelona.
Rivaldo
The craziest thing I’ve probably done during a show is the balcony dive – it was pretty scary. I was like, ‘This could result in an injury of mine,’ but somehow I survived.
Steve Aoki
Technically, the last number of years, partially from t

Technically, the last number of years, partially from the injury, it’s been difficult to push forward but I felt even before the injury that I still could do more and was sort of at a stalemate.
Elvis Stojko
In the mean time I worship God, laying every wrong action under an interdict which I endeavour to respect, and I loathe the wicked without doing them any injury.
Giacomo Casanova
It’s really tough when you have back injury because you cannot bend; you cannot react at the balls.
Simona Halep
That’s the good part of an injury, it strengthens you in many ways.
Bojan Krkic
There is no ghost so difficult to lay as the ghost of an injury.
Alexander Smith
A dancer’s life is hard – it is so physically demanding, and at any moment, you could have an injury that could end your career.
Monica Cruz
I had a lot of tough experiences at Bristol City. I came there for a few quid and was getting booed off by fans, got injured. I was out of the team due to injury but also because I was having an awful time playing wise. But they were amazing experiences.
Sean Dyche
When individuals become angry with one another, an injury of some sort will likely occur. When governments become angry, entire civilisations are wiped out.
John McAfee
Diljit Dosanjh has been the best choice for playing me on screen. He has given a tremendous performance with true emotions and actions. He has not only delivered my feelings for each and every moment during my struggle post my injury but also worked hard to portray my personality as a hockey player.
Sandeep Singh
When I left the WWF after SummerSlam ’93, I didn’t leave there thinking this is the end of my career. A couple of months later, when the neck injury took place and everything and I had that conversation with the doctor, I took the insurance and I got out of the ring.
Ted DiBiase Sr.
Violence, as it is for the mafia and most other criminal organizations, was bad for pirate business. By doing battle with prey, pirates risked damage to their own ships and injury to their crews. It also made them bigger targets for law enforcement.
Robert Kurson
Injury taught me I need to learn how to face challenges.
Shawn Johnson
I’ve had one very bad ankle injury but otherwise I’ve been incredibly lucky with my fitness. I’ve worked hard at it and I’ve always been fit even compared to other players. That sustains you through various parts of your career, but I am 36.
Graeme Le Saux
Any time you’re recovering from an injury, your main focus is trying to get back into shape, really just getting healthy again.
Marcus Mariota
I was ready in 2008 for the Olympic Games but unfortunately I missed the Kenyan trials with a thigh injury. I watched those Olympics but it was tough to watch. But it was good in the end because a Kenyan, Wilfred Bungei, was the champion.
David Rudisha
The arteries are found in nearly every part of the animal body, with the exception of the hairs, nails, and epidermis; and the larger trunks usually occupy the most protected situations, running, in the limbs, along the flexor side, where they are less exposed to injury.
Henry Gray
I’m here. I’m not going anywhere. No matter what the injury – unless it’s completely debilitating – I’m going to be the same player I’ve always been. I’ll figure it out. I’ll make some tweaks, some changes, but I’m still coming.
Kobe Bryant
We live in a time when the words impossible and unsolvable are no longer part of the scientific community’s vocabulary. Each day we move closer to trials that will not just minimize the symptoms of disease and injury but eliminate them.
Christopher Reeve
It wasn’t until I was injured at the gym – resulting in an emergency room visit and bill of $4,000 – that I realized the cost of forgoing health insurance. I was fine, but it took me more than a year to pay off that bill. That hurt worse than the injury itself.
Sharice Davids
We know more people who have gone to the ER for an immersion-blender injury than just about any other, and we’ve seen almost every kitchen mishap imaginable.
Sohla El-Waylly
I love tennis. I’ve played it my whole life. Loved it since the age of three. I had an injury, so from the age of 13 to 24 I didn’t play much. Then when I moved out to L.A., there were so many tennis courts that I rekindled the love.
David Walton
I’m a competitor, and I’m sure a lot of people who don’t get to play because of an injury, whether it’s their pride or their ego, whatever it is, they want to be out on the field.
Josh Allen
I have a very fit body and have never faced any major injury problems. So yes, the secret to my success is my fit body.
Mary Kom
You can have an ankle or shoulder injury, and in six or eight months, you’re healed. But if the heart stops for a few moments, that’s it.
Nwankwo Kanu
My wife and I met when each of us was dragged to a party we didn’t want to go to by friends. I was coming off a bad injury, but my roommate insisted I get out of the house and be around people. God love our friends; we’ve been together 20 years now!
Michael Chiklis
A strained hamstring is a muscle tear and very easy to take care of with proper therapy. The greatest problem for a sprinter coming back from a hamstring injury is getting yourself to a point where you are confident mentally that all the muscles are going to be firing.
Donovan Bailey
Needless, heedless, wanton and deliberate injury of the sort inflicted by Life’s picture story is not an essential instrument of responsible journalism.
Abe Fortas
A lot of people don’t realize how severe a concussion injury is. You have to listen to the doctors. You have to be really careful about them.
Bret Hart
I’ve been in constant pain with my knee injury.
Sarah Harding
I think all musicians have at one time or another experienced one physical problem or another. I have had tendinitis a couple of times, so I try to be really careful. It takes patience and persistence to overcome injury.
Yo-Yo Ma
As a captain, you don’t have to worry about playing well, or recovering, or injury. As captain, you know the match is in the hands of the player, not you.
Mardy Fish
Then I got a bad back injury, and they thought I wasn't

Then I got a bad back injury, and they thought I wasn’t going to have any feeling in my legs.
Lee Majors
When I was born, I had a birth injury in my second and third vertebrae. It gave me what they called spastic paralysis, which is actually cerebral palsy.
Leon Russell
Justifying conscription to promote the cause of liberty is one of the most bizarre notions ever conceived by man! Forced servitude, with the risk of death and serious injury as a price to live free, makes no sense.
Ron Paul
I did enjoy football, but the injury factor for me, you know, I had so many issues. I don’t know how long my career would’ve been.
Barry Larkin
If the mind says the injury is nothing, it will mean nothing. If the mind says competitions are nothing, it will mean nothing.
P. T. Usha
I work hard in the offseason for that situation – for injury prevention.
Paul Millsap
After an injury, I think you have to be strong mentally.
Olivier Giroud
The promise of any artwork is that it can hold us – viewer and maker – in a conflicted or contestable space, without real-world injury or loss.
Kara Walker
The worst injury I have ever suffered in the ring was a torn triceps; they had to take a piece of my hamstring to repair the tear. It was brutal; I was out for 6 months.
Dave Bautista
When you have a spinal or brain injury, or any kind of devastating illness, you kind of fall through the cracks in a sense. Your world implodes, and no one is really there to help pick up the pieces.
Victoria Arlen
I try to think of things in levels, pain levels and such, injury levels, like, ‘How bad is this injury supposed to be? How much should I be selling?’ And I think it also helps with the emotional attachment of fans when you’re trying to tell a story as well.
Kenny Omega
When you first come back from a long-term injury, you’re just trying to get your body in order and trying to get back into the training and match routine.
Ross Barkley
It’s not just professional athletes and soldiers who are at risk from traumatic brain injury. More than 1.7 million people a year sustain a traumatic brain injury, and about 50,000 of them die each year, according the Centers for Disease Control. There are both emotional and financial costs from these injuries.
Anne Wojcicki
An injury is much sooner forgotten than an insult.
Philip Stanhope, 4th Earl of Chesterfield
It’s the one that the players fear. The No 1 is the ACL – the anterior cruciate ligament – closely followed by a real tear of the hamstring, because you know that’s the one injury that kids you.
Graeme Souness
I enjoy personal injury cases. I’ve tried quite a few of those. And, frankly, any kind of litigation that is trouble-shooting, whether it’s equities, suits and injunctions, or whatever.
F. Lee Bailey
Aerobic dancing is already adjusting to injury problems and will probably phase out to some extent.
Kenneth H. Cooper
I had virtually a three-month layoff from an injury angle we ran so I didn’t wrestle at all. I was worried the most about my cardio and I tried to stay in cardio shape using a Stairmaster and treadmill but there’s nothing like being in ring shape.
Ricky Steamboat
Fear of serious injury alone cannot justify oppression of free speech and assembly. Men feared witches and burnt women. It is the function of speech to free men from the bondage of irrational fears.
Louis D. Brandeis
Check my records: you’ll find I’ve never caused a bad injury to a player.
Diego Costa
I came back from my ACL injury and won MVP. So, what’s a groin? What’s an adductor? That’s how I look at things. I feel like if you just continue to take care of your body, working out, making sure you’re in shape and you stay on top of your game, you can play as long as you want.
Adrian Peterson
Of course, animals have to be killed for food or to prevent their doing injury to others or to property. But such killing is too often carried out without regard to the pain inflicted.
Robert Baden-Powell
You kind of look at the timeline of what has happened to me and with having a pretty good rookie year and the second year getting the injury and Kurt Warner played himself into the Hall of Fame in the last 3 years. There’s not a lot I can do about that. I battled with a Hall of Famer two training camps in a row.
Matt Leinart
I’ve never done a fake injury or something like that. If I look tired, in pain, it’s because this is true.
Juan Martin del Potro
To force a man to pay for the violation of his own liberty is indeed an addition of insult to injury.
Benjamin Tucker
In 2005, our starting center, Dan Koppen, went down with a season-ending injury. Russ Hochstein was always our interior ‘swing guy’ – he played guard and center – and I remember Russ stepping in and playing beautifully.
Matt Cassel
The obvious thing is I would love to fight Conor McGregor. We’ve got some history there, and he won, and people saying he didn’t knock me out because of an injury he had. I was injured in the fight, too, so let’s test that theory. I want to test that theory.
Max Holloway
Every act of conscious learning requires the willingness to suffer an injury to one’s self-esteem. That is why young children, before they are aware of their own self-importance, learn so easily.
Thomas Szasz
When an injury robs a player of his ability to train the way he’s accustomed to, there is nearly always an alternative.
Gabe Kapler
Any time you are inverting yourself three times in a single air trick, you have to be cautious to execute properly and avoid injury.
Scotty Lago
Physically, I definitely needed to change some things, get fit and get in position where I could be consistent without injury, and I’ve put in a lot of work to stay fit.
Mardy Fish
You're one step away, you're one injury away, a couple

You’re one step away, you’re one injury away, a couple of training sessions away from getting that No. 1 shirt, so there are how many ways you must look at it.
Neil Etheridge
I’ve been through things in life that are way worse than a foot injury.
Caris LeVert
I think staying away from wrestling for two years with injury and the movie, I lost my focus.
Geeta Phogat
If you get a career-threatening injury your career is done and you need something to fall back on. But if it wasn’t for football I would have played rugby, if it wasn’t rugby it would have been basketball and I would have just gone through all the sports.
Jack Butland
If you were inactive due to an injury or a surgery, then common sense rules the day when inching closer to the area that was hurt. That is very different from inactivity due to being ill. After illness, be aware of how taxing your workout is cardiovascularly and err on the side of less.
Gunnar Peterson
Rehabbing any significant injury is a substantial challenge independently; braving the process twice makes for even longer odds.
Gabe Kapler
I think that beauty can injure you to death. It can cause an injury that can never be cured. Or it can so traumatise you, your life changes direction. The beauty of the harmony of nature that is forever lost, or a daily rite that you perform, or diving into the sea for a swim. Those experiences are going to mark you.
Toni Servillo
No greater injury can be done to any youth than to let him feel that because he belongs to this or that race he will be advanced in life regardless of his own merits or efforts.
Booker T. Washington
The Asia and the Pacific region is facing an epidemic of road death and injury, but we also have innovative Asian road safety solutions.
Michelle Yeoh
But I would like to play for sure until I’m 35, if I’m injury free.
Bernard Tomic
You can recover from a concussion in a week. But a knee injury can end your career.
Howie Long
A sovereignty is always presumed to act upon principles of justice, and if, from mistake or oversight, it does injury to a nation or an individual, it is always supposed to be ready and willing to repair it.
Roger B. Taney
Your cruciate ligament, like many long-term injuries… when they come back they’re expected to be what they were before the injury. While fit it sometimes takes a little bit longer for some than others.
Sam Allardyce
You’ve got to be careful with any injury, but I mean, if you research hamstrings, if you know anything about hamstrings, you’ve definitely got to be careful.
Rob Gronkowski
I had post-traumatic amnesia, five-second memory, it happens as a result of brain injury.
Richard Hammond
When you sign for a new club, you just want to play, and when injury stops you, it is frustrating.
Jack Rodwell
We should live, act, and say nothing to the injury of anyone. It is not only best as a matter of principle, but it is the path to peace and honor.
Robert E. Lee
Indeed, no one does more injury in the church than he who acts perversely and yet has the name and order of sanctity.
Jan Hus
I try to keep my routine as consistent as possible. I try to lift every single day. It’s not powerlifting. It’s not lifting to become the strongest man in the world. It’s lifting just to stay in shape. Stay lean. Stay injury free.
Quinn Cook
What’s the nastiest injury I’ve sustained? Just a frostbitten toe… but thankfully it’s still intact.
Ben Saunders
Reject your sense of injury and the injury itself disappears.
Marcus Aurelius
You get a rib injury and it hurts to breathe. If you sneeze, you think you’re gonna die.
Joe Thornton
