I totally agree with you and yes some of us are fortunate to have had a sports season this fall, like I was lucky to play at least two games of my season before I got hurt. Some athletes are indeed struggling and don’t know how to coup with the pandemic and yes this is where resilience is truly key so that we realize that even though we are not in the best of times the best is yet to come, I also think that playing a little bit with your siblings or with close cousins in small groups can help lift the mood.

I agree with you it is a difficult time to be an athlete. Last spring when lockdown occurred most of us thought we were going to return however, that wasn’t the case. The spring season was cut short for those who would typically play in the spring. Which was very difficult for them. Summarizing one of the comments I read it stated “We should cherish things we have because when they are gone, they are gone.”

Dear Christopher,
I am intrigued by your post because, as a high school student athlete, I have experienced this first hand. These unprecedented times are something that no one ever thought possible. While extremely unfortunate, it has hopefully opened our societies eyes to the gratitude we must have for the things we are passionate about.
One thing you said that really stood out to me was that “resilience in the time we’re in is crucial to have and is a precious trait to have as we embark on our life journey after high school.” I truly believe that this is an essential trait for student athletes to learn, especially if they are planning to play a sport collegiately. Not everything in life will go perfectly as planned. In sports, athletes get injured or may not get their desired playing time, but the trait of resilience is necessary for achieving ultimate success.
Your post reminds me of my past softball season. While my high school season was cancelled, I was able to play almost the entirety of my summer season. Although I am extremely grateful that I had this opportunity, it burdened my plans to play collegiate softball because college coaches were not able to travel to attend our games.
Thank you for your project, and I look forward to seeing your future posts because we have similar insights on relatable topics.
