The Injury only took me out my Freshman year when I didn’t run. However, I lost the explosive power in my left leg for life and couldn’t jump on it with success anymore. There are many that could LJ from either leg at anytime . With a lot of time so could I.
I just had to wait til my right leg was powerful enough…took long enough lol
I still went out for track my Soph and Jr years but I only did so so, I just didn’t jump
That little episode I wrote about confirmed to me that my goal was still in tact and so I trained for it and got it.
Fast Forward 25 years>>> just last week I was talking with some well known coaches in the area and we all pretty much agreed that if the JR College in the City that I live in ever started a track and field team… we would win almost every State Championship both Men’s and Women’s from here on out. That is how much TALENT, KNOWLEDGE and BELIEF there is around here.
There are some big things happening here pretty soon but it is too soon to give the details. These big projects take a long time to get going and completed but it is getting closer and closer.
