Question:

Answers:
Sounds like you may have tore your hamstring. You have created scar tissue in your hamstring that is why you have not been doing better. Actually when you tear your hamstring you should not stretch, this is one thing that a lot of people do wrong. Put it this way if you tore something would you actually want to stretch it to make it tear more. What you need to do now is get in with a physical therapist that deals with athletes and does myofascial release or an active release provider (activerelease.com) You need someone to get in there and tear up that scar tissue and let it heal the right way. You could actually pull this off before the beginning of your season if you find the right person to work on you. Hope this helps and good luck

smear icy hot all over it, then go stretch alot and after stretching go jog a little. maybe like 1/2 a mile.
