Narative blog

It was a brisk Sunday morning, the winter weather was just right around the corner, the grass was wet and snow was covering the ground. As the game began the other team was wearing all red with a look on their face that they wanted to win. This is wear it all began an injury that could take 6 months to recover from.  On the football field you have many athletes running at each other full rate of speed, so when you get hit the outcome isn’t always good. Injuries are very common in the game of football, all athletes that play the sport can agree with the statement “football is a dangerous sport”. I myself have had my share of injuries, from broken bones, concussions, torn ligaments and cuts and bruises. On this Sunday morning all things were going according to plan, we were winning and I was playing a very good game with a interception and a touchdown within thirty minutes of the game. I felt as if everything was going according to plan until I we ran a very basic play which entitles me to go out for a long streak. Are team approached the ball, I noticed the other team playing a cover two defense which means the quarterback would most likely throw the ball to me. Next thing I know the ball was snapped and I went on my streak, the quarterback threw the long ball to me, but he threw it a little too short, I planted my right leg to come back to the ball and next thing I know I hear my knee snap. I immediately dropped to the ground in agenizing pain. I knew immediately that I tore my ACL and it wasn’t good.  So as you can see injuries can happen at any point of a game, I obviously did not see it coming.  This is important because it has such a major role into all sport topics, because injuries in sports are very common. When a Injury occurs it is never a good thing to see. Sports injuries can definitely for shadow later events, because there are a lot of events that you have to go through for an injury to happen and recover from.

  1. What a great, vivid description of the day, the game, and the injury itself -- nice reflections on how you just don't know when it's going to happen. I'm sorry to hear about your injury but happy that you can write about it so clearly!
