Bad Times

Last year was my senior year at DeSoto Central High School and I had played on the soccer team since sophomore year. My friend Ben and I were the two captains for our team and we had a reputation of being one one of the best teams in the area. Well the season started okay for me, I got a couple goals and assists and everything seemed good. About a quarter after the start of our season I was having some sort of injury. I had found out that I had a torn right quadricep. They told me that it was possibly from not stretching enough or just working too hard. Sadly to say I could not perform up to my highest potential. It was not a good time watching my team mates and not being able to give them my best effort. The process of healing really never happened. I stayed sore and somewhat injured for the remainder of the season. I just could not tell them I have to sit out. I mean it was my last year there and it was my time. We did not reach the playoffs but we did play some good soccer. I was glad I chose to play and help my team as much as I could.
