Kenya Olley: Leading from the sidelines

Injuries are a common and unfortunate phenomenon in all sports. Concussions, broken bones, tears and sprains are all fair game, and it’s tough to watch players suffer through them. It’s even harder if you are a teammate or a loved one of an injured athlete and see the struggle behind the scenes. But, as all cliche’s state, it’s not the fall that should be memorable– it’s the grind back.
