I have also lost games because of achilles problems. There are two stretches from my doctor and therapist that really help and strengthen that area. #1:straight leg heel lifts. #2: bent knee heel lifts. You stand on the edge of a step with just your toes on the step. Slowly lift your heels up and down. I usually do 20-25 lifts with each exercise. The exercises can be done as often as you want. On bad days, I will do them every time I am on the stairs. Keep doing these stretches the rest of your season.
