this is one of the reasons i don't check the injuries subforums, it really fucks with my mind.. just seek proper medical help, get surgery, rehab properly, and make your recovery.. who knows if you will be able to get back to 100%, if you're determined though you should be able to.

sucks man really wish you all the best in your recovery.

damn man, good luck with your recovery, and it doesnt mean that you will never be able to dunk or jump well at all, you can still achieve your goals for sure just go slow and train really intelligently.  This is one of the reasons we are so big on training the lower leg in the weight room along with jumps/sprints/plyos, etc., it helps prepare the achilles tendon as well as strengthening all the surrounding structures so that injuries are much less likely.  Good luck man, keep us posted on how your recovery goes.

second set on a volleyball game, was my first game of the season i was felling a bit tired, but never felt any pain or soreness. It was a dumb movement first step on a spike aproach, i felt like a ball has hit my leg but i soon as i looked and i saw nothing i knew it was really bad...

dude,

if there has been anything that having several career-threatening injuries has taught me it is...

don't, and I repeat DON'T listen to anyone who tells you what you will not be able to accomplish.
Obviously take it slow and follow all the rehabilitation protocols, but as for people trying to put a ceiling on how much the injury will stop you...forget about what they say.

Maybe your jumping "ceiling" will be lowered a bit by the injury, it's possible.  The point is moot though because nobody ever reaches their ceiling.
 

If you want it enough to put in the effort to rehab and then train following the injury, I guarantee that you will be better and more athletic than you were before.

There have been pro athletes who have torn their achilles and come back and performed just as they did before.  You will too.

Some athletes come back even stronger after injury, depends on your mindset.

Take it real slow on your comeback & build it up gradually.
