Action – Football Tryouts

During the first semester, I was looking forward to playing football again for the first time in four years. I had been actively engaged in ISK’s football team in Middle School. However, during my stay at a summer skateboarding camp, I managed to permanently damage my ankle. This led to my ankle being extra sensitive to injuries which led to my continuous absence during ISK’s football seasons. After four years of recovering, I was confident to be able to play again. I attended the football tryouts to see whether I was still as capable of playing. Everything was going extremely well, I found that I was still able to play and was not falling behind the other players. However, nearing the end of tryouts, I performed a slide tackle. Upon standing up, I realized that I had twisted my right ankle, preventing me from being able to walk. I fell and Mr Lotze came to my aid. Rather than being in pain, I found that I was disappointed that I may never recover. Therefore, I was unable to join the team. Nevertheless, I loved playing in the tryouts and found that I was still a capable player. My friends were happy to see me there for the first time in four years.
