Lack of stretching: The hamstrings are the biceps femoris muscles that stretch from the gluteus down to the back of the knee. Soccer is a high activity sport with reaching and stretching for the ball. Also a lot of standing with sudden sprinting. Improper stretching can make the hamstrings susceptible to injury. Twisting, straining, and getting hit in the leg can cause partial tearing in a muscle already stretched.

I strained my hamstring and started playing soccer again in the 3rd week of the injury. I felt as if I was able to play. My hamstring hurts a little bit more now when running, jumping, etc. but it's only slightly worse. Did I prolong the recovery?
