Welcome to Gaia! ::

About half a year ago, I talked about how in my last game as a highschool fullback, My knees were broken in a double tackle by a pair of linebackers, ruining my chances of ever playing football again, at the level I used to play at, which was leading me to scholarships at multiple schools. the most interesting to me was USC and Washington, because of their proximity to my home in Vancouver, Canada. I'm back to say my knees are healing much better than my doctors thought they would. I require no surgery to pick out shards of old bone, and my body is repairing itself quite well. I'm still having a hard time walking, I use crutches just incase my legs might give out, until I fully heal of course. I figured fellow football fans and perhaps players of the game themselves, and even people who saw my first post back then might like to know how I've been since then, and the answer is great, rehab was cake compared to training camp last season, and I hope to maybe coach a little league team next year either that or I'll do what most people say I should do and try to be a scout for a football team. I'm looking it up at my local pro team, the BC Lions and they seem interested in bringing in some youth to their scouting team. I guess I'm just really glad that football will be in my future, one way or another.

Good luck. I will tell you, I can feel your pain. Try playing with a dislocated shoulder all season long. That sucks as well. Well at least till the training and coaching staff find out then pull you out. Mother F'ers. Anyways, good luck and hpe you get at least some of you dream back.

Wow, that injury must have really sucked and made you mad. I've been lucky enough not to have my injuries interfere with my sports teams. I knocked out my knee tendinitis early, and that was about it for me.

Good luck trying to get your career back up.

Well good luck man. Still wish you the best. you should check out my football vids in the Blog thread sometime.

High School, but every single year I ended up with a dislocated shoulder. Was told it was how I played O-Line. When I did some running back as a backup and DE, never had an issue. But to friggin stubborn to stay in the other positions. Was a smaller O-Lineman and a small DE, but was the fastest and strongest. That was about about ten years ago almost. Had a few knee injuries and hid my dislocation for almos thalf the season till the trainer noticed it pop out while I was playing. Then I was pulled. Go figure.

I am sorry you got hurt so bad but i'm glad you are healing up.

Man, all this talk really makes me wish I played football in high school even more. I only really played pickup games. I was very good at soccer, and that's the main sport that I play. It was always in the same season as football though, so I couldn't play both. I would have loved to play linebacker or safety, but I probably wound have end up playing receiver or cornerback.

...damn Fall sports! stressed

I'm tryin' out for Receiver cause I got the height. I'm gonna be a Freshman and I'm 5'8", I can run the 40 yrd dash, drill, thing within about 6 or 7 seconds, and I have a Vertical of I think 18' or 19'.
