Worst day of my life…
I woke up in the hospital…
The day before I was at my high-school wrestling tournament
And I was calm relaxed..actually was planning a party for afterwards haha since my parents were out of town
But then first wrestling match I get in a scramble
My opponent grabs my leg
I try it to get it away and I turn my body one direction he turns its another direction
And I look up and see my ankle Is twisted 180 degrees
Im on my stomach while my ankle is facing the ceiling
Shocked, taking in the moment and I couldn’t believe what was happening
The stretcher comes in and my coach comes with me
Still didn’t understand what was going on
Felt like a nightmare
I had plans to play baseball off season to try to get a scholarship and looking my foot that dream was crushed
Placing at states in wrestling that dream was crushed
Once I got in the doctors manually turned the foot into place
Never felt a pain like that in my life
I was screaming…probably the whole hospital heard me
Scared now having to face 6 months of rehab work
But something inside of me knew
“This is temporary and its happening for you”
In those 6 months It made me realize how grateful I truly am for my health
For my legs, arms, body
Having fully recovered now I wanted to experience my body at its absolute max potential because thats what it deserves.
That injury motivated me more than ever to train harder than ever before because now I Knew at any moment this gift could be taken from me…
Even with this injury under my belt
I’ve been able to deadlift over 500lbs
Sauat over 400lbs
Play rugby, run a half ironman, do a bodybuilding show
BECASE I DON’T KNOW When it’ll be taken from me and I can’t control that
What I can control is HOW AMMI using this time im on earth
How ammi seeking the absolute best version of me
Alot of you act like you got your whole fucking life
Man OPEN up your eyes, you only have today…
So use each and every single day to push your self to your TRUE potential
And stop play it safe and small
Go find something hard and go get it
Now go chase those big goals kings and get after it
