The Pirates of the Ice
Posted: November 6th, 2010 | Author: sadie61 | Filed under: Arts | No Comments »In my whole lifetime so far, you could say that I am quite fortunate; this is because I have been able to play all the sports and games you could think of: may it be those fun little mini games we all used to play as a child, or may it be those very well known games like soccer, basketball, football, volleyball and even tennis; I have tried them all. And in all these games and sports that I have indulged in, I really enjoyed playing each and every one of them; maybe I did mostly because I am quite a talent when it comes to athletics; I consider it a talent because I am good at them and I do not even take time to condition my body. And because of this, I have realized that one of the best loves of my life is sports; every time I find myself being inactive or idle, I find myself itching to play any sport, anything at all just to get rid of that feeling; and I really cannot even start to imagine what my life would be if I was injured and I would not get to play sports anymore; it would just simply be horrible for me. And for this alone, I will always make sure that I wear the proper gear and practice taking all necessary protective measures every time I play a sport; if it is basketball, I will always wear shoes and not slippers, and also I would check my shoelaces to avoid tripping; if it is soccer, I will always wear those shoes with spikes so that my feet will not be trampled on, and also, will always wear shin guards because they provide the best protection against broken legs; and if it is football, I will always wear helmets, like those youth football helmets, and also complete gear too before playing it. And also, should I find myself suffering from bruises or minor injuries in a game or after it, I make sure that I apply cold compress directly; one instance of this happened when I landed awkwardly on my left shoulder, I immediately placed a shoulder ice wrap on it and it healed almost instantly.
