One thing that you shouldn't forget as an injured athlete is to look after your psychological side as well as the physical. Many injured atheltes can suffer various degrees of depression when they are injured (I've been there) and knowing how to deal with this is often as important as dealing with the physical injury. When you train so much and so often and you get injured and suddenly can't do the training it can have a big impact.

I read a paper quite a few years ago that my coach gave me (which I can't find now) which was called something like "Pycho-social behaviour of an injured athlete". It was a good read and explained all the things that my mind and body were going through at the time. Just knowing that it was all normal was comforting and made me do all the right things so that I could get back into training as soon as I could.
