Albany Ga Monroe high vs Westover high rival clash. Highlights big crowds, loud noise and a crazy tempo and it’s the fourth quarter. This is where clutch happens the quarterback says hike and the ball is thrown deep down the field. “They fight and fight Ernest Davis, and Lohan Wicker, and they jump it’s an interception it’s going the other way. Running full speed back he dodges two defenders and now he’s hit out of bounce. Ernest Davis with the big defensive play”. The announcer makes it sound so spectacular, and I was receiving it all. Talking trash bragging and really just putting the pressure on the other team when I should be showing good sportsmanship. Careless and I was a ticking bomb I expressed my pain and feelings in a negative way.

Life itself had changed I wasn’t so amped or hype for nothing only wonder what I would do. Of course school still I had more love then I expected coming back to school after missing a few days walking with a crutch realizing already how it’s a gift to play football, and have nothing disabling you from playing. I felt different just watching things in a chair sitting down where I would normally be running around skipping school at this time. Just sitting in one class the whole day to avoid walking. These things where already changing my outlook slowly as I gained patients, especially since I had no choice with a big knee brace on I wasn’t deciding anything fast. Watching my team play and practice so game time I had to be all for my team and players because I wasn’t playing. This was one of the most disturbing times of the injury but, it built my character having to lift all my players up to win so it made me a coach and not a player, and I found a love for it out the blue which helped my process flow easier. I was walking again after the football season was over thinking a bit better and slower I wasn’t so aggressive or careless. Slow workouts for the summer time for me. Ready to take off like the old me but I still had to listen and move at the football doctors pace. So I was never perfect but the old aggressive me and new patient me was finally working together to decide what would be my response, because I could just kick back to top gear to get ready for next season , but I decided to take it slow and relied on doctors word to move
