Playing football as a youngster
June 30th, 2007 by adminMy football career ended early in life at the ripe old age of 9 years old. It was one afternoon after school and the team had assembled on the field awaiting for the coach to arrive. We all knew there was to be no horseplay while awaiting the coach to arrive to start practice.
Well being the young scholar that I was, one of the other guys on the team and I decided to start our own practice.I was going out for a pass and it landed perfectly in my hands, just as I turned around to see where I was I met up with the goal post head on. I did not have on my helmet. After being knocked out cold for about ten minuets, I was groggey and made my way home.
While at home waiting for my mother to arrive and check out the goose egg I had on my head, she decided that my football had just ended. Just think all of this happened because the coach was late!
