I attribute my luck to a rigorous year round workout that includes cycling both stationary and outdoor, intense weight lifting, aerobics program of heavy bag and step aerobics, Stairmaster workouts and stretching.

There is NO substitute for conditioning. I've struggled with Achilles tendinitis issues for years -- including in my 20s when I started. After starting a fairly intense running program, I've had virtually no Achilles issues during football and basketball season. Obviously, its difficult to condition yourself to sustain getting taken out, but the better condition you are in, the faster you will recover from heavy soreness. I got leg whipped twice this year (a little too cocky in staying close in the R position) and what bruises there were literally healed within hours (24-30) rather than days.
