Cameron Henderson - Recovery

[markharbtiger]

There is a five episode video diary marking CH's recovery from injury now on the Tigers site if anyone is interested https://www.leicestertigers.com/news/lt ... -watch-now
It also reveals some of the work done by the medical and fitness teams at the club, and whilst perhaps not as high profile as some other activities, is nevertheless vital.

Sounds an interesting watch. There's not a lot of stuff shown of what it's like behind closed doors under the Borthwick regime, he's not a media fan so surprised this has come out.

Hopefully see Henderson playing a more prominent role next season.

Think this is why it's all come out now at once rather than as a video diary throughout.

They're only 6 min each the 5 videos, well worth a watch!

My favourite bit was when Borthwick pop's in on his recovery, and gives him some stuff to look at on the Bordeaux lineout, a game he'll never be playing in, but Borthwick still is getting him to think about lineouts and how they technically work, he's developing the parts of his game he can, giving him a real focus. Genuinely seems to care for the individual.

I think that also says something about SB's meticulous planning...I am not sure, but I feel SB is a believer in the adage 'fail to plan, plan to fail'

I’ve only watched the third one where he goes to visit the surgeon after 3 months to get the all clear to resume running.
Amazing what the surgeon did to make the knee stronger and also Cam’s knowledge when looking at the scans

Watched all episodes and found it a really interesting insight into the Tiger's support for injured players. Full credit to Cam for his dedication to recovery and to his team mates for their support but the medical team health and conditioning, physios, surgeon and all involved eye opening brilliant. Well worth the watch.

Yes, a great insight into action behind the scenes and a recovery journey.

SB does get criticism for not giving information on injuries but I am happy with his approach as such information is only of benefit to the opposition. Posting this video will hopefully remove some of the curiosity on what it takes to recover from some injuries.

Love that bit as well. It shows Borthwick's enthusiasm for the game, see the relish when he talks about Bordeaux's lineout being tough to break down. Loved the challenge and it was good to see him involve Henderson in the analysis. He can't work on lineout training but doesn't mean he can't do the homework.

Henderson comes across as intelligent and hard working. I liked how he was asking questions of the doctors to understand the injury and treatment. Hopefully he gets plenty of game time next season.

If I recall correctly he was in the Scotland squad for a game (or games) that got cancelled due to the pandemic. Hopefully he can get back to this level.

Yes he was

Worth watching this, if only that it brings it home how you can be lifting weights and running but still a long way from playing.

Great series of little documentaries.
Very interesting and informative.
Gives an insight into how depressing it must be as a professional athelete to go through that.. and how much hard work both physically and mentally it must be on the road to recovery. The elation he had in getting his 10 minutes off the bench in one game is extraordinary.. it shows tbe dedication of these young men and what they put themselves through and above all the camaraderie of their teams that pulls them through!
