I need to get footwork speed back after a leg injury. Any advice?

In September, I broke my left femur. I ended up getting a femoral nail, and have started walking again in the last two weeks. I will be competing in the AAU Nationals in Florida this year, in July, and will need some help getting my speed back up to snuff. I am 32, and in the 18-34 year old Advanced group. I am biking and doing as much work in the pool as possible to build up strength, but I am more concerned about timing. I can still axe kick with the leg, and have reluctantly did some paddle drills without any real issues. Pivoting is a bit of a problem though. Anyone have any advice? Besides hanging it up, that is. I wrecked my back in a car accident, and that didn't stop me either. I'd appreciate any help I can get. Thanks!I need to get footwork speed back after a leg injury. Any advice?

The rotating is going to hurt. Go slow. If you are not ready in time be ready next time its better than not ever.


Glucostamine and therapy.
Go slow, if you miss the tournament its better then having to do more therapy . Take your time with the leg , strenuous workouts may be more detremental to it then you think .
If you only started walking 2 weeks ago, you're taking a huge risk by competing in July. Be patient. You're only 32, not even halfway through your life. You have lots of time. Practice, practice, drill, practice, and drill some more. You don't want to risk permanent injury. I've missed lots of events due to injury, but it only makes me stronger and more determined to win the next one.
