The reason this gentleman had stopped bowling wasn't because he'd lost his love for cricket.
It was because every time he bowled over-arm he experienced a sharp pain in his shoulder, so he adapted.
He stopped bowling and even started learning to bowl with his opposite arm instead.
He also switched to under-arm throws from the outfield so he could keep contributing to his team while protecting his shoulder.
He wasn't ignoring the injury, he was respecting it and learning to work around it.
But the next step isn't simply waiting for the shoulder to become ready again.
A little more scapular control, a little more rotator cuff strength, a little more structural balance, a little more flexibility, a little more confidence, a little more load capacity.
Those tiny improvements compound over weeks and months until one day you realize you're doing things that were impossible not long ago.
