After a concussion sustained in hockey made worse by another concussion last rugby season combined with the chronic bursitis in his shoulder, I never thought Cole would ever play any contact sport ever again. A good reminder to never say never!
I forgot to take into account passion.
He loves rugby. Truly loves it.
Well, he still has the ball. It was quickly passed off and a try scored.
As much as I flinch when there are a number of other-coloured jerseys surrounding him, I know he is playing something he loves. And he's good at it. He doesn't want to play for the Crusaders Club. Or Ontario. Or Canada. He's happy to focus on his position as 8-Man for his school team.
Life is good - and never dull :)
BONUS
I couldn't say yes to one and not to the other:
Caden is the "back-up everything" for his Middle School rugby team. There are a huge number of boys so not a spot for everyone. During this game he was the back-up 8-Man and scored the final try of the game.
I'm just settling in to get a good tan this spring :)
