So here I am a senior high school I am committed to play football at a small D1 college. I’m a pretty good athlete, and I take care of myself, and have never had a injury on the field that took more than a few weeks to heal.

So I’m walking from school up to our locker room, and I slip on some ice. I slipped in such a way that my leg stays straight, and I hurt my knee, it wasn’t a tear or anything, just a significant strain, and I couldn’t fully bend my knee again for three months.

Luckily no one saw me when it happened, but I was still so embarrassed I told them I did it while running sprints. And happily there weren’t any lasting side effects.
