Injury is the unlucky event that happens to certain players almost every year in sports, and can be one of the most devastating for the person involved.

For many, an injury may only prevent the player from playing for a short amount of time while other injuries can end entire seasons.

Most players have experienced some kind of injury at over the time they have played a sport. These injuries could range from small issues like a sprained ankle or more seriously broken bones and torn muscles.

While all injuries are unfortunate there are many incidents where the injury can be very dangerous and devastating. A season ending injury can truly crush a player who would have to wait until next season to play.

Injuries like concussions can be dangerous for the player if not recognized or treated properly, but just like all the other injuries a concussion can range from minor to serious.

Players that are injured may not always be out for the season, but missing games can really upset a player.

“It sucks that I can’t play. In the first five minutes of the first game I was taking out for over half the season,” junior Brenden Brummer said who received a dislocated elbow during the first football game of the season.

While some sport may be more susceptible to injury, all sports carry a risk of some type of injury.

Most sports injuries tend to be bad luck or accidents, but sports like football that require constant physical contact can carry a higher risk of injury.

Injury can be prevented, but more than most of the time injuries turn out to be random.

Players also have a responsibility to their team to be careful outside of school as well. If players really enjoy the sport they are involved in they should be careful or refrain from dangerous or high risk activities during the sports season.

Injuries range broadly from how the injury was received to how serious the injury is, but all injuries are unfortunate for the player. Players should be careful outside school and during practice so that they will be able play their games at full potential.
