Polish Girls' Painful Ankle Injuries!

While soccer is tough on the legs and feet, volleyball is arguably an even more challenging sport. Constant and persistent jumping and stretching is all part of the game. Players who can jump high obviously have an advantage in striking or blocking the ball. At the same time, the incidents for ankle injuries are also rather common. Jumping can result in ankles being twisted if the landing was not done securely or when the player accidentally lands on a team mate’s foot. The chance of landing insecurely increases when a player is feeling exhausted from the strains and pressure exerted on both feet. Hence, it is more common to see physical trainers immediately assess and treat ankle injuries on the volleyball court. This video captures the agony of two unfortunate Polish volleyball players who both endured the pains of twisted ankles!
