How to Keep Occupied When Recovering from a Volleyball Injury

Volleyball is a sport that is enjoyed by millions of people, both as a spectator sport and taking part in the game. At present, some of the strongest teams in the national league include Poland, the USA, and Brazil. Poland especially has become a force to be reckoned with in volleyball; this relatively small nation of just over 37 million people is the current champion of the men’s volleyball Nations League (VNL) having beat USA in last year’s final. The sport is both exhilarating to watch and to take part in. If you do take part in the sport, you will know that there is an ever-present risk of injury.

A common injury is to sustain tendon damage to the ankles from repeated high jumps to block and attack during a game. If you have been unfortunate to suffer an injury while playing the sport, you will know that some damage takes time to heal. Moderate and serious injuries can result in weeks lost from the game and an inability to train until you are fully fit. This article provides advice and guidance on how to keep occupied and motivated when recovering from a volleyball injury.

Find thrilling pastimes to enjoy

One aspect of the game that injured players miss is the fun and excitement that comes from playing in a professional or amateur match. Anyone who has played the sport will know just how fun the game is. Finding ways to recreate the fun and thrills from competitive matches can be challenging while you are recovering from injury. For volleyball-playing adults, an exciting choice can be to try a range of casino games at a reputable online site. The risk and reward nature of volleyball is replicated to some extent in casino card games such as poker and testing your luck on a range of slot machines.

At an online casino, you may even be able to find sports-themed slot machines that you can enjoy. The atmosphere at such sites is also close to that of a physical casino venue, with bright lights and an air of excitement dominating the action. Search out live dealer games if you seek polite conversation at the card tables with the dealer and other players. You will find that there is a sense of camaraderie among players that is similar to the team spirit of volleyball. 

Read up on the history and strategies of the sport

During your recovery time, you may also be interested in learning more about the history of the sport and building your tactical and strategic knowledge of the game. There is a wide range of truly excellent books about the sport, written by experts in the field. If you seek to learn more about the history of volleyball, an excellent starting point is “Volleyball” (History of sports).

This is available from online stores and discusses the history and evolution of the sport with information on some of the early great players. However, you may also want to sharpen your strategic skills on the court for when you get back to the action. The Volleyball Coaching Bible contains a wealth of strategic knowledge and tactics from top coaches in the American Volleyball Coaches Association.
