FOOTBALL Xavier Smith Lewes FC physio for the first teams I’ve been working for Lewes FC since Christmas, alongside Paul Baskin, having come over from Eastbourne Town. I initially came over to help with the men, but I was soon asked if I wanted to do the women, too, so I jumped at the chance. It’s a part-time job: I also run my own private practice. Most people notice us when we’re running onto the pitch, and I do pride myself on getting to the injured player fast. I always slyly look over at the opposing physio at the beginning of the match, and think ‘am I faster than them?’ I watch the game differently from everyone else. I’m always looking ‘behind’ the ball, because I want to see that the players have come through the passage of play OK. If you’re not doing that, you can’t see the reasons for any problems, and the players aren’t always that explicit. “I got a whack” is all you’ll usually get. Sometimes I have to make tough decisions. At Eastbourne, in a big Cup match, the striker went down, and I could see his leg was ballooning up, so I called on the manager to take him off, even though I knew he’d want to stay on. We lost the game, but it was the right decision. We have two surfaces here, the Pan and the 3G training pitch. I wouldn’t say either surface is better or worse for injuries: each can create its own problems. The absorption of impact is different, and while the grassy surface is uneven, your studs can get caught on the artificial surface. Everyone thinks my job is all about treating injuries, but that’s just a small part of it. My main task is to prevent them from happening in the first place. That is achieved by getting the players as fit as possible and working on ‘prehabilitation’: strength and conditioning exercises. A lot of this is down to them: we work with the players when they’re training, but we also give them maintenance programmes, for example, on recovery days after matches or training sessions. When it comes to injuries, the most frequent in football are knee and ankle injuries, from all the twisting and turning that’s involved in the sport. And then there are hamstring pulls, which can happen when you suddenly slow down. My space at the Dripping Pan is the First Aid Centre, where I have all my equipment, and where players come for treatment. At some clubs you wonder whether players are really injured or if they’re just trying it on. I haven’t come across that here: all the players are gagging to play. My bag? It’s full of plasters and tape and underwraps and rubber gloves, and Deep Heat, and ice spray. That’s what people think of as ‘magic spray’: I’m not a great believer in its healing properties, but I apply it anyway, because the players like it! As told to Alex Leith 99
