Shane's 3peat

My freshman year of highschool i had loads of potential for the upcoming basketball season, but in the fall instead of playing on the golf team i decide to play football. first game- 2 touchdowns, one torn acl. I used my hamstring tendon and it felt great so i started over doing it and PoPP there it goes again. So i recieve a cadavor and 9 months later its feeling great, first basketball practice of the year i go up for a lay up and Popp. Body rejected the cadavor. So my first two years of highschool and no basketball. Now my third surgery i used my petella tendon. I've listened to everything the doctor said and it is now about 7 months post op and it has yet to feel good. And now more recently there is a severe clicking of my knee and all hope of basketball is down the tubes. SO my BIGGEST thing of advice i could give someone is dont tear your acl, and dont play football
