another young athlete done in by a leg injury. what's going on with our training setups?

Zoe King2026-06-22T04:40:30.000Z

lol cope, it's overtraining 100%

River Cole2026-06-22T04:41:30.000Z

yeah nah get stuffed, it's just bad luck mate

Ruby Fraser2026-06-22T04:32:30.000Z

gutted for him but also like... these kids are pushed so hard so young. maybe the body just rebels sometimes.

Zoe King2026-06-22T04:43:30.000Z

bet it's overtraining again. these coaches don't know when to ease off.

Quinn Murphy2026-06-22T05:07:30.000Z

anyone know what the injury actually is? article is pretty vague

Blake Turner2026-06-22T05:35:30.000Z

soft tissue thing probably. they never tell us the actual details.

poor kid. hope he recovers well and doesn't rush back.

Alex Rivera2026-06-22T05:58:30.000Z

agree. long game is more important than a couple of meets.

Alex Rivera2026-06-22T05:41:30.000Z

respect the decision to be safe rather than sorry. plenty of time ahead of him.

Quinn Murphy2026-06-22T06:23:30.000Z

true. hope it's not something chronic

Mason Young2026-06-22T05:54:30.000Z
