9-14-12 Pages 1-2 Suffering a devastating injury to his knee, John Kanan ’14 is forced to deal with everlasting difficulties that impact his athletic career and everyday life. Still today, Kanan has to push through these troubles to be a game changing player on the soccer field. It was the first game of kanan’s sophomore year soccer season; he was a starter on the team playing right midfield when out of blind sight he collided with an opposing player. “I was running as fast as my body would let me”, said Kanan. “The only thing I was focusing on was winning the ball.
My first wrestling match was a duel meet with one of our rival schools, Coral Gables; they weren’t the best but it served me well on applying the techniques I learned on those couple of weeks that passed. I weighed in that day 103 pounds, I was a light weight. And the lightest weight class is always the last one to wrestle.so I got to watch some matches before I wrestled which made me even more anxious. Finally it was my turn to show everybody what I got. The team score was dead even, so all the pressure was on my match, which even got me more pumped up.
He suffered from a bursa on his kneecap which is very painful from his knee hitting the mat constantly. He would also go and fail English 11 due to a corrupted teacher and so called plagiarized decades project. He went to summer school and passed the test telling what needed to learn the first week. There wasn’t anything he really needed to learn so they just gave him extra work so the money he paid wouldn’t be wasted. He also kept up with his exercising daily along with doctor appointments for his left
At the college level if the player is ejected in the second half of the game, the suspension will carry over to the first half of the next game, but in high school games, the rule is not applied. Coaches around the nation are very much behind the new rule. Jared Sanderson said, “Really, the number-one thing when you’re going to hit somebody you’ve got to keep your eyes up, and we talk to the kids all the time about that” (Watson 2). Sanderson is saying coaches goals are to educate their players that if they have their head down going in for a hit, bad things like head or neck injuries. Many players have been forced to retire early or in rare cases have been hurt permeantly.
I also made sure I was doing the drills correctly and precisely because I knew how strict the coaches were. Sometimes I messed up, but I was determined to get it right on my next turn. I was so dedicated to making this team that I would go home and practice the drills, so that I could come back the next day and perform the drills perfectly. After a couple of days of tryouts I became confident in making the junior varsity basketball team. I eventually got used to the intense drills and I was capable of doing the drills correctly.
Life Twice Given: An Unlikely Sacrifice At 16 weeks, Logan Hampson fell mysteriously ill. Four years later, his baby sister, Alyson, developed the same symptoms. Discover the true story of what a mother and father sacrificed for their children. By Nicholas Hune-Brown [pic] Photography: Frances Juriansz When Lynn and Jason Hampson first saw the hint of yellow in their four-month-old son’s eyes in the winter of 2008, they didn’t think too much of it. The young parents assumed it was jaundice, a common illness that would pass with a little time under the hospital lamps. Instead, the colour spread.
The reason I chose softball as my “rock” is because lately I have not been able to play. I messed up my shoulder in mid-April during school ball and have no clue what I did to hurt it. I found out two months later that I had tendonitis and calcium deposits in my shoulder, which affects my arm not only when I play but when I lift heavy items or just sitting at home. I want to go back and play with my team because
During these practices, I would often hear senior, Sammie Bane, say, “Oh my gosh, why are we still doing these same drills over and over again?” In response to that, Coach Rieckers would reply, “Do you want to go to state and earn respect from the community?” Growing up in a small town, everyone knew everything about each other. This was also the same concept when it came to sports at BCHS. Brownstown was always known for great volleyball, football, and boys’ basketball teams. These teams always went far into the tournament every year in strive to win a state championship title. The same was not known for the girls’ basketball team to achieve.
A scrum cap is often worn by players who play within the scrum during a game. Often times, this means that they are continuously in full body contact with their own teammates and the opposing team. However, my position of 'wing' consisted of placing myself on one of the sides of the field and running the full length of the field to score a try. Ultimately, that meant that a scrum cap was not very necessary as my position was not experiencing full-contact throughout the eighty minutes of playtime. However, my mom was fully convinced that the ½ cm of (barely there) foam padding was going to save my life.
During my seventeen years of life, I have played football for twelve of them. Since I was young football has impacted my life greatly and has shaped me into the person that I am today. Last year I broke my leg in a high school football game and had it taken away from me. Taking x-rays, it became clear that I broke my tibia and fibula in my ankle region. After surgery I was told my chances of playing my senior season were not in my favor.
