Running Back-Personal Narrative
I shuffled across the field watching the running back take the ball running to the right side. I was the only one there to make the tackle Tyler and Kai both got blocked by Lineman and Landon got blocked by a receiver. I ran across the field, we both met at the pylon I only had to hit him out of bounds so I dove……. And I missed. As I fell to the ground my eyes were closed. I opened my eyes and I felt a sharp pain in my right elbow. It felt like my arm had split into 2. I looked over and I saw Landon.I said “ Landon go get the coaches I think I broke my arm.” I thought I had a broken arm. So he looked over at my arm and said “ Oh my gosh.” He started screaming for the coaches saying “Koen hurt his arm! Koen hurt his arm!” As Landon was getting them I was wondering what was going to happen to me. I was about to throw up, I …show more content…
My dad got me a wheelchair. I sat in it and my dad wheeled me into the E.R. I met a guy in the waiting room who hurt his knee playing football. I waited for about 20 minutes and then they got me in.

I was wheeled into the room and they lifted me out of the wheelchair and into the hospital bed.They lifted me up to take off my shoulder pads. Then I laid down and they asked me all these different questions like, rate your pain from 1-10. Then they took me to get x-rays, it took about 10 minutes. I was wheeled back into my room after I got done with x-rays. I waited in my room for about a half an hour and waited for my results. When the results came back they didn't really say anything because of the swelling.

So they wrapped my arm then put it in a sling. So we left. When we left my dad took me to get a milkshake from McDonalds. It really help me forget that I had gotten really hurt. Then I went home to talk to my grandma and mom. They all talked about my arm all day. It was the worst conversation of my life hearing about how I might not ever be able to play football

    It was the middle of an away sophomore baseball game against DeWitt. My brother, Keegan, was up to bat. The pitch came, he swung and down he went. The baseball came off his bat and drilled him in the left eye. There was only one parent there, one of Keegan’s teammate’s dad. He drove Keegan to the hospital and called my parents. At the time, I was at a softball game working the scoreboard for the varsity West Delaware Hawks team.

    “LET’S GO BOYS!!!! LET’S WIN THIS!!! BEAT THESE RAVENS!!!!!!” The crowd was screaming and chanting wildly as we began to run out of the locker rooms and onto the large football field. I lead them, raising my arms up and down to signal the crowd to get louder with their cheers. As I did this, I was also sprinting to the middle of the field through the large slit that was cut for my eyes. I turned back to the crowd in the stands, and the players ran around me, with smiles of their faces, to get to their positions and the bench. I started to jump and raise my arms, “ FROGGY!!! FROGGY!!! FROGGY!!!” They all chanted my name in union, some of them even had signs and horns! A large smile crept onto my face behind my large mascot mask, and I couldn’t…

    During the 3rd quarter, I was running down field on a kickoff. Approaching the first blocker, I tried to go around him, and he drove his helmet straight into my knees. All I remember is having thoughts of relief as my knee exploded in pain. I enjoyed the idea of no longer playing football, but not the physical pain. Football season passed by in what seemed like a week because I was sitting at home everyday instead of practicing. My grades were rising, my happiness and excitement were both coming back to a healthy state as basketball approached.…

    While trying to fight back tears from the intense throbbing pain that I felt in the back of my leg, I told the coaches that my knee was on fire and that I could not put any pressure on it. In that moment Coach Meyers told everyone that practice was over and for everyone to go home. Coach Feriend, the junior varsity coach, ran to go and get Sefa, the athletic trainer. After being examined and stretched by Sefa, Maddie-Jo went to the ice room and got me a gigantic bag of ice to keep on my knee until game time. For the rest of the morning and afternoon I did everything that I could to keep my knee stretched so that I would be able to play when seven o’clock came around.…

    My sophomore year while playing in a football game, I tackled a player from the other team right before half-time. While I was making the tackle, I felt a pop in my knee. It wasn’t very painful because of the adrenaline in my system at the time but the next day the pain came. It felt like there was a rubber band getting caught on my knee and coming off almost every step I took. I just put this pain aside through part of basketball season until the pain was too much and I went to get a check up, then a MRI, then before i knew it I had to get surgery for a torn meniscus. This ended my basketball season. After surgery I went to my rehab physical therapist Dr. Marty in Centralia. He got my knee back in good working order after…

    The day I got injured was one of the worst days of my life. After practice a pitcher wanted to throw a bullpen and none of the other catchers wanted to catch him, so I said I would. On the last pitch of the bullpen I twisted my knee on the turf and felt a sharp pain and a horrible sounding pop. It sounded life two bones crunching against each other. A couple more days of practice went by and I couldn’t bare the pain any longer. Our trainer set me up with a MRI at our hospital on campus, and my insurance company wouldn’t cover me since I was “out of state”. So that night I drove home to get my MRI.…

    I slowly made my way over to the edge of her driveway where there was a little ledge that I could sit on. I made my way up there and that was when I realized that I was not able to move my left arm the slightest pit. I took my right hand and placed it under my left elbow to try and help stabilize it, but the pain would not go away. The thought that I had broken one of my bones had crossed my mind, but I never thought that it was true. I could hear Charlotte talking to her dad over at the edge of the driveway. He was asking her why we were not using the rollerblading pads. Charlotte’s answer was the same as mine, we had both…

    It was December 18th 2007 and I was in the park with a bunch of my friends. We played some football in the snow and had a good time. We were walking on top of a big hill and we weren’t paying much attention to our surroundings. I started to talk to Justin and the next thing I knew I was on my back going down an ice hill. On my way down I was thinking, “Oh god I’m going to get hurt”. There was a big wooden fence at the bottom of the hill. I extended and locked my leg so it wouldn’t move and I embrace myself for the impact. My leg was locked so tight that that when my foot hit the fence the force traveled up my leg and into my bone. Right when my foot hit the fence I heard a crack. I knew it wasn’t the fence either. I was at the bottom of the hill lying on the ground thinking what am I going to do. I did the best thing I could and stayed calm and tried not to move so much. I yelled for Justin and he raced down the hill, he had to help me limp out of the park.…
