There he was, a tall but very thin figure, pimples all around his face, long and thick hair, very uncomfortable on his body.
Years went by very quickly. Now, he's a big boy, who just started high school on the good school of the city. Happy as he was to get accepted in there, he knew the difficulties of choosing that school but he chose that school so he had to work.
Ugh, I should't have stayed up that late at night knowing that I have to wake up early. Gotta run, or else I'll miss my first class in the new school. 'Who has time to brush teeth, let's run'
Entering a new class, full of new faces 'some of them looked interesting' it felt kinda strange. Feeling weird at that age is quite normal as I have come to understand latter in my life. Nevertheless, we started our classes rather quickly and things were going smooth. Talking about weird things, it was around during this time when I started noticing girls too and I have to say that's fun.
With my career going rather well I was quite happy but as always things don't always go as planned...
Through continuous training since an early age, without taking proper care of my body (especially warming up before and stretching after training) I keep damaging it and sadly it came at a point where my legs started 'malfunctioning' if I can use that word to describe what was happening.
My right leg keeps pinching me I don't know what's up coach, do you have any suggestions on what should I do? His reply was calm as always 'I don't think it's anything big, however, just to make sure everything is working properly in your body go and do a full body check up'.
Days go by, I finally pick a day and go to the doctor to do the 'full body check-up'. I was afraid, I was truly afraid to go since I had this thought at the back of my head that something was wrong with.
The check-up started very well but my mood wasn't improving, I still kept thinking about the small pinching I felt in my right leg. My upper body was functioning perfectly (15 year old athlete so probably understandable).
Let's put you on the track now. .
I started running, at first everything was going well but it didn't last enough, very quickly I started to have the same bad feeling on my leg again. .I try to keep it hidden but I couldn't do it, probably the grimaces on my face told the doctors that something ain't right. They keep testing my legs, the pain kept growing, until it became impossible to handle. Crying I stepped down from the running machine, wasn't crying from the pain but from the realization that it was bad.
Sure enough, I had hurt my leg quite badly and the doctors suggestion was that I should rest for at least 6 months or a year. I have to say that I have had some bad moments until that time but comparing to that everything seemed like nothing, I felt devastated, lost, I wasn't me without beloved football.
My thoughts stop me from writing. . .
This was probably one of the worst moments of my early life which fortunately turned out to be a very good thing in the long run but I have to say I will never forget quite what I felt back at those times when everything was developing.
