So T is dealing with a growth spurt which makes the Osgood Schlatters in his knees hurt extremely bad. Then he is also dealing with Shin Splints which we got told today that it takes 4-6 weeks to completely heal from and if you don't allow it to heal then you make an already bad situation worse so that puts T out of being able to do the PATU President's Cup in August because he won't have enough time to train to be ready for it so we won't be wasting our time or money on going to it and let T get completely healed from the Osgood and the Splints. It'll be good recovery time for him and his body coach is going to adapt his body training so that he doesn't make anything worse. I have a feeling there is fixing to be a lot of core workouts coming T's way from his body coach...LOL!! There's always something with this sport that athletes have to deal with. This is a high intensity and high injury sport with things such as pulled muscles and shin splints and things of that nature. It just kind of comes with doing this sport. Every sport has their own challenges and this is TaeKwonDo sparring's challenges. At any rate, T rests and recovers and does what his body coach tells him that he needs to do in order to completely heal up. The really good thing about this is that he can eat and grow while healing. That's a huge plus for T. And even though it's painful T is really glad to have Osgood happening right now because he knows that means he will be getting taller and, of course, height matters in this sport.
This picture was taken after his last fight and he got his medal and was making his way back to take off gear so we could leave the venue for the day. He's looking so grown up. #GodsPlanistheOnlyPlan
