as a gymnast, even when i had a fractured vertebrae, i would be told do almost everything except tumbling or bending my back even though my doctor said the only thing i should be doing is walking and doing sitting exercises
now in cheer, i see a lot of my teammates work through their injuries. a lot of times it goes away on its own. but if we hurt something really badly during practice the coaches are a lot more lenient about letting us rest. i think part of the time, girls just dont tell their coaches and push through it because, THEY want to do it for the team.
i'm currently injured and dying to start tumbling again as my injury is getting better everyday. but we're starting full outs within the next week and my coach had me rest for the last few weeks so that i could jump in sooner rather than working through pain for the next who knows how many months
