The Leg

I promised an update, and I’m usually pretty good at keeping my promises.

I had surgery today to remove the screws that were put into my leg about ten weeks ago, and I’m very proud to say that I walked out of the hospital. That’s right, after ten weeks of hobbling around everywhere I went, I’m now able to walk.

I won’t be able to run until October, but I’m able to start getting back in shape by swimming and riding a stationary bike. I won’t be able to return to full competition until Trouble in Vegas, but I’ll still be at practices and fall tournaments bestowing my wisdom and expertise.

Get excited.

Here’s a look at what’s coming to the blog this summer:

Bios
Keenan did a pretty good job of writing up each an every one of you. I just need to make it better.

Life as a Club Player
I’ll be interviewing teammates that have joined other club teams. If you’re a club athlete and want to be interviewed, shoot me an email. You don’t even have to be part of the Illinois Program (though, I really do wonder how widespread my readership actually is).

Rip’s Rehab Updates
How’s my leg doin? Stay tuned to find out.

Training Tips and Techniques
I’ve played for quite some time. I think my advice is good for you.

And of course, more questions from the Summer Lovin Series
