Down it goes. My spring season. And possibly the rest of it. On the first day of spring practice, I reinjured my leg running pass routes and my coach is going to keep me out indefinitely until summer. I felt perfect until one pass, I got overconfident with my leg and sprinted. I got overthrown, laid out for the ball, caught it. While I tried to tuck it away, my leg extended majorly wrong and I felt a huge pop in the back of my leg (I know what happened and I'm kind of hesitant to say but I think it means I refractured the avulsion fracture I had in the back of my thigh). It was kind of disappointing to know that I could really be running on a level I've never ran on, but I'm not going to actually be able to until summer now.
It's coming to the point of outright depression. I just wanted to play, this really isn't funny. I didn't see the need before, but now more than ever, I need to prove that I can be here for this team, I need to show improvement, and I need to be able to crack people and run around like I used to be able to in order to do any of the above. Honestly, I felt like I was rapidly improving before I injured this stupid thing in January. Three times I've injured myself since the beginning of the year. I've played through numerous injuries, but none as bad as this. I just want to be healthy, whatever the cost, I miss being able to run like a normal human being.

Bro I can't imagine what you must be going through. The truth is you are lucky that it happened now and not during the summer or worse during the season. I guess all you can do is give it time. Injuries are the toughest thing to overcome for any athlete especialy becuase after you get hurt its much easier to rehurt that body part. The toughest part though is knowing you should be out there arnd having to sit on the sideline. I feel for you.
ReplyDeleteThis really sucks, but it's better for it to happen now than in the muddle of the season when people will really be depending on you. What doesn't kill you can only make you stronger. And when you do eventually heal playing will mean that much more because you weren't able to do it. Get better soon cause they need you out there.
ReplyDeleteWhether or not you see the field this spring, I just wanted to say, that from my standpoint, you're a great team mate to have, You never complain or bug the coaches about playing time, you do what your told, and because of that it will pay off. Nurse your injury, we're gonna need you come fall man. Stick with it, don't get depressed, we're all here for ya,
ReplyDeleteColin my boy!You are probably one of the best team mates a linemen can ask of a WR.lol.But G is keeping you out cause he knows if you keep trying to play threw injury your going to injury the team in the long run. Now just get that hammy fixed and comeback in summer.
