Not sure what this “soccer” is that you speak of, but I can somewhat relate (albeit not to the same extent) having suffered issues with both ankles (I assume due to growing) when I was 13 and not being able to play football for the best part of a year. I am very grateful/privileged that for a good chunk of my childhood/adolescence I got to play football every weekend when others couldn’t

I'm sorry to hear you relate when it comes to joint problems and being sidelined, but I'm with you completely on the "no regrets" front. Such a fantastic sport. I wouldn't change anything about the years I spent on the field--even if they were painful!
