Breaking my ankle was a great experience for me. It happened at an all-star softball tournament, during the game before the championship game. On the field we were working together with the single purpose of winning in mind, but off the field was a different story. Softball has 9 possible position to play and with 10 girls we felt comfortable starting, it led to tension thick enough to cut in the dugout.

However, on the second round I decided that I would try out my luck and choose B, which turned out to be the wrong move. I went from -2$ to -5$.
