The injury occurred in front of…

My first encounter with the emotional impact of sports writing occurred during my seventh grade year. UConn had just completed an incredible season, posting a perfect 39-0 record and securing its third national championship in eight years. I was eagerly awaiting the arrival of Sports Illustrated.
