What's up everyone?
I have been dealing with an injury from December 2015 up to current day. I have endured several doctors appointments that generated very little movement toward a fix as well as four MRI's, an ultrasound and experimental PRP injection (don't know google it; it sucks). The time this article was posted I awake a consult with a surgeon that might to fix it. Sounds like I am giving up hope. Well I'm not. I'm looking to turn my hope into something fresh without giving up my love for this sport.

If you don't know, I am currently a player for the SOU men's soccer team. I was the captain of the team it's inaugural season, and man was it a season. I discovered leadership capabilities I didn't know I had. That's probably the biggest take away from this injury. With out this injury I wouldn't have taken the time to understand this about myself. I took away what it means to persevere and not give up.Which can sound harder than it actually does. If you have to ever endure pain you would know what I am talking about. Not physical pain, I'm implying a deep emotional tear at the heart. It makes you question everything leading up to that point. That type of pain. In the midst of all that I also experienced joy, happiness, and love. The love for life and people. How to accept situations and utilize them to fuel a different life campaign. I can also come out of this with the tools to empathize. Pronouns and all. Whatever our battle is we have it. You do, the person sitting next to you does, as well as the person that may have popped into your head while reading this. I also believe that as we go through our days we have a little bit better understanding of who we are and the type of person we seek to be. That's why everyday I try to be a better version of myself and I understand that you're trying to be the best version of yourself. Whatever that may be.
I hope this inspired a few people. If it did give it a share. Worst they do is not read it.
Also, the Men's SOU soccer program is coming out with a documentary created by the students. Here's a shot:
The entire team is putting in their sweat and blood for this spring season. We will see where it takes us.
