Female Sports Heroes

Professional athletes love the sport they play day in and day out. Their mentality and spirit must constantly remain positive and at the highest levels. With a strong and positive mentality, it becomes a lot easier to train and maintain their physicality so as to do their jobs well. With that being said, athletes will face moments of hardship in their chosen careers. Minor or serious injuries are always a possibility, with many seasoned athletes having to face long-term rehabilitation when they are crippled due to accidents. Being brave with high resilience for minor pain and injury can always help these heroes overcome their challenges. It will allow them to fight on and never give up their quest for honours. In today’s clip, two professional soccer players show their bravery when faced with minor injuries! These athletes are a symbol of resilience and positive attitude. They are the unsung heroes who never give up. They are the shining light when compared to a Swedish defender who simply can’t bear any pain after a foot injury. She has no choice but to take off her boot and sock for treatment barefooted!

As the saying goes, you have no fear when you are young. This is so true for youth soccer players who love the sport especially when representing their countries. As more young players get the chance to show their skills representing their countries, they also get a real taste of what’s it like to be injured. For some new players, getting more serious foot injuries can be more of a culture shock. What’s more, they are under the care of the physio and medical teams who ensure they get first hand treatment on the field. Certain treatments require the boot and sock to be removed immediately, which can mean some kind of embarrassment for young players. But more college players are becoming tougher as they gain more experience. They display the kind of maturity and bravery when usually seen by pros, even when facing painful injuries. Today’s video takes a look at some outstanding youth players who show their bravery and resilience when being injured representing their countries.

How they react to pain and discomfort will determine their will to fight on or retire from the match.

While football is always nice to watch, it is less so being a professional soccer player. As the game is played mostly in high temperatures, players always face the challenge of running in full foot gear under sweltering heat. It is common to see players nice and fresh at the start of the match, but these same players look jaded after over 90 minutes running in tightly-laced up boots and socks. Though modern soccer jerseys are made of scientifically cool material, but football socks remain thick and long. To protect the feet, it is not uncommon to see players wearing double layers of socks as cushion to the feet underneath soccer boots. Imagine wearing these long socks on top of another pair of thick athletic socks, together with shin pads in very humid temperatures. It is torture not being able to do so, but pretty players rarely do it in front of their fans! However, when there is a foot injury, even pretty players can’t resist taking off their boots immediately for some relief. Like the pretty captain of Mexican club San Luis!

Everyone knows that volleyball is very hard on the legs and feet. Constant and persistent jumping and stretching is all part of the game. It is one sport where leg exercises are extremely important to keep the muscles and joints flowing freely. This is why volleyball players usually remain on court to complete some stretching exercises before leaving. Although there are no national boundaries for stretching, there are some notable differences when it comes to the way it is done. Most European girls typically stretch with just their sneaker laces and knee guards loosened or removed, but most do not remove their socks as it may be considered unmannerly. Safe to say, regardless of culture, even the pretty ones must be yearning to completely remove their footwear right after a tough game. In today’s video, popular Japanese volleyball star Ranna Shiraiwa is all done with her sneakers as she stretches happily in front of her fans.

Female Sports Heroes - Saluting Their Bravery & Dedication...

Athletes require bravery and determination to win whenever they compete. A strong will to win is extremely important especially when faced with rough tackles. Getting injured is part and parcel of every sport especially with a physical sport like soccer. It is the players’ level of resilience that will get them back on their feet, no matter how great the pain may be. Many heroes insist on playing on as long as the pain allows them to continue. Some wait until half time before getting their injury looked at. Benfica’s forward Vitoria’s resilience allowed her to continue for some time before she succumbed to her foot injury. She had to get immediate attention on the field even if it meant removing her sock.

What makes a professional sports athlete stand out from amateurs? It is their prowess, their positive attitude, courage and winning determination. These professional players always give their best to try and win for the team. That winning mentality is always at the back of the player’s mind. It is this mindset which drives heroes forward. That is why when they get injured and cannot continue, that feeling of disappointment shows instantly. USA up and coming midfielder Samantha Lewis, was in tears when a nasty ankle injury forced her to retire in a recent international match. Not only did it hurt. She was bitterly disappointed she could not do more for her country!

In a highly physical sport like soccer, lots of injuries are caused by unfortunate accidents that occur beyond one’s imagination. These freak accidents can sometimes be rather serious and require immediate treatment on the field. The most unfortunate ones are where a player gets struck on the leg, foot or even head by a hard hitting ball at close range. Arsenal’s Austrian goalie Zinsberger was involved in a freak accident recently where she required immediate attention by the physical trainer.

With football very much a team sport, players who care and play for each other on and off the field usually come out on top. Cheering for the team gives the the players extra encouragement and incentive to fight for every ball. Aside from the fans, injured players still find ways to cheer for the team from the sidelines. Tennessee’s midfield player Maddie Eskin, who had to retire early from the game because of a non-contact ankle injury, gave her team full support even though she was on crutches. Eskin became the unsung hero of the Tennessee soccer team that day!

As the saying goes, "Beauty is only skin deep". But this is certainly untrue in the world of female soccer! Many famous soccer stars like Alex Morgan, Christen Press and many other international players, are not only pretty.  They are athletes with brawn and muscle and perform on the highest levels consistently. They are dedicated heroes who are brave and show no fear when it comes to tackling the opposition. They are resilient to pain and suffering so that they can carry on no matter what! These beauties in pain are the unsung heroes of women's soccer.

Volleyball is another sport that is very hard on the feet. It is simply amazing how these female athletes can jump up and down so many times in a game and yet still find the energy to win! Though they wear cushioned sneakers, their legs and feet still deserve a good rest right after the game. Volleyball stretching is a must for these volleyball heroes. It's also a good time for fans to catch their star players let loose!

In the life of soccer, many successful players are adored by their team members as well as their fans. When a team wins a trophy, the joys, excitement and celebrations during that moment overcome everything. Sometimes the team may overlook what's going on besides them. That is what happened to Gracie Brian, the Forgotten Hero of TCU.
