I was angry with my parents because they sent me to boarding school. I was a quiet kid, who didn’t talk much and was angry, . I was angry with my myself because I couldn’t make friends. One day my coach saw that during practice, He insisted on me to join the football club and come for practice daily because, I wasn’t good in studies, sports was a major part.
I practiced a lot and when I was 13 my coach thought I was ready for the inter school football tournaments. That was the biggest day in my life up until that point. when I participated in 2003 sports day where athletes from different schools came to take part in sports, and won the gold medal.
In 2008, I was remember that, I was nineteen and had passed my 12th exam, but I didn’t want to go to college, So I started training for the biggest match which was the selection for National teams. My coach was so hopeful for me. But unfortunately, I fell down and became unconscious. I couldn’t move. When I opened my eyes, I found myself in the hospital bed with my legs tied to the railing of the bed and head wrapped with white bandage.
Time passed and I continued playing football. . I was ready for the biggest match of my life. I fought the best of my state and soon he was considered one of the players in his state.
The time has finally come, This was the first time in 11 years that I was visiting a football academy. It brought back memories. I got in the stadium, and running with the young football players. They knew me, coach had told them everything about me. I took a lot of training and it felt good. I feel good. But I hadn’t thought that I might come back in the game.
I went to see my doctor in October last year and he told me that there was nothing wrong with my body and he said you can continue training again. Maybe all my injures healed up, I don’t know what happened but those words were music to my ears.
I got married in 2017, I had one child in 2018. Life was going well. In 2020, the lockdown hit and worst of all I heard the news that the coach was gone. It hurt me. I last met him in 2017 at my wedding. I just wanted to see him once more so that he could tell me what he meant to me.
