Written by a high school senior, this the story of a high school athlete who suffered a serious knee injury during a playoff football game. Not realizing that he had been injured, he continued to play until the end of the game. In addition to discussing his personal experience with the surgeries and rehabilitation that followed, the author explores the difference between playing with pain and playing while injured. In addition, he addresses the social and psychological aspects of being injured, and the pressure to return to the field. Proceeds from this book will be used to provide educational training to coaches on how to spot injuries before they become serious, and will be used to provide vital protective equipment to impoverished youth athletic programs.
