My Brain Injury Story
My Brain Injury Story
The moment before my life changed, I was lined up to defend a corner kick, something I had done countless times. It was my freshman year of college and a sunny September day in Washington state. As the ball came sailing in, I went up for a 50 50 challenge, an opposing player’s skull smashed into mine, both of us going full speed in the opposite direction. I fell to the ground, unconscious.
At the hospital, I was told I fractured the base of my skull and two vertebrae in my neck. I was diagnosed with a Traumatic Brain Injury and a spine injury that would not only end my soccer career; it would change my entire life.
For what it’s worth, I did win the ball ;)
