Emil Willie-Jawai is about to start his final year, and he can't wait to lead the First XV to another premiership. He has spent the last few months training hard and getting into the best shape of his life, and he's ready to show what he's made of on the field.
Emil is known throughout the school for his impressive rugby skills. He's fast, strong, and has a natural talent for the game. Everyone on the team looks up to him, and he's determined to lead them to victory in the upcoming season.
But fate has other plans.
Last week, during a team bonding session, Emil decided to show off his acrobatic skills by attempting a backflip. His teammates cheer him on as he takes a running start and leaps into the air. But as he lands, he feels a sharp pain in his ankle.
Emil tried to shake it off, but the pain was too much. He knows he's injured, and he's devastated. Yesterday the doctor confirmed his worst fears - he has an A-Class tear in his ankle and will be out for the majority of the season.
Emil is heartbroken. He can't believe that something as silly as a backflip has cost him his chance to play in the opening games of the season. But he knows he can't give up. He's determined to work hard and get back on the field as soon as possible.
He spends the next few weeks rehabilitating his ankle, working with the team physiotherapist and attending every training session to keep up his fitness. He will watch from the sidelines as his team plays their first few games, cheering them on and offering support
