298 Words2 Pages
I have 3 long-term sports injuries...all in my legs. I have planters fasciitis, Osgood Schlatters and I was born with loose ligaments in my legs. The Lateral Collateral ligaments in my legs are loose, apparently it’s very rare. This was a turning point in my life because it showed me how much harder I have to work if I want any type of sports career, I found out I had these 1 by 1. I started to notice big bumps under my knee caps and it looked like I got hit with something and it started to swell. The bumps started to become painful and it hurt for me to walk. I went to the doctor and was told of this, Osgood Schlatters. Apparently it's very common in teens that play sports. I then found out about my heel problem which is the Planters Fasciitis.

Osgood-Schlatter Disease Osgood-Schlatter disease is an inflammation of the area below your kneecap called the tibial tubercle. There is pain and tenderness in this area because of the inflammation. It is most often seen in children and adolescents during the time of growth spurts. The muscles and cord-like structures that attach muscle to bone (tendons) tighten as the bones are becoming longer.

Being a NCAA Division II athlete during my time at American International College was blessing in disguise for me. Many people do not look at Division II college athletes in the same light as Division I athletes. Interestingly enough, unlike Division III college athletes, DII are held to the same standards and rules as Division I. We have to maintain a certain GPA, we cannot work more than 10 hours a week, we are drug tested on a monthly basis, and we endure two-a-days on a daily basis. Going into college, athletics were always first priority to me; but after being a regular starter on my soccer team entering my junior year, my priorities were completely reversed. My first two years of college saw me as one of four players (out of a class of 22 players) to be on the varsity soccer team, meaning that I was exposed to long bus rides, missing classes for team events, and constantly being a lesson behind other students in my class.
