I'm not sure if I'm imagining things, but my right thigh even looks smaller than my left right now - so looks like I'll be working on rebuilding my calves, quads, hamstrings, etc. Yea. The one other thing I was thinking while I was watching is that my speed is going to take a hit. While I was planning on doing speed training anyways when it started getting warmer out, it's definitely going to take a while before I'll be able to get any explosive strength back. This might also mean a change to the way I play soccer, since my general strategy has always been to just slow down a little, and then sprint past defenders when they think they've got me figured out. Hell, I still thought I was fast enough that I could kick the ball to one side of a defender, while sprinting around on the other to beat them . . . in any case, it's going to be interesting to see where my strength and speed are at once I'm out of a cast/brace/whatever.
I definitely wasn't the fastest guy in our league (Andrei, Andy, and Sam are some names that come to mind when I think of fast people), but I was still pretty quick . . . it'll be interesting to see where I rank after this . . .
On a related note, my left hip is starting to bug me, probably since I spend too much time hopping around on the left leg for short distances, rather than using my crutches. *shrugs*
