“Even though I know it’s the right decision, ultimately it’s still not easy to know that I’m not
going to play football anymore,” Ryan Kerrigan said. He was a famous football player, who
wasn’t playing on the field anymore. Instead, he was sitting on the sidelines, watching a game
that he loved, but simply couldn’t play.
Doctors had said that his knee was doing poorly after running for long hours, and advised him to call it a career. However, “while Kerrigan’s knee was ready to retire, his mind wasn’t close to being ready.” Kerrigan had always had a mindset that pushed him to keep on going, even when he wasn’t “ready.”
This Friday, Kerrigan officially announced that he was retiring from the football community.
This was what he was planning for about a year.
“Even though I know it’s the right decision, ultimately it’s still not easy to know that I’m not
going to play football anymore. It’s like, well, your body feels nice because you haven’t trained
for football in two months, so you got to kind of acknowledge the truth there,.” said Kerrigan in
a recent interview. However, the fact was, his knee was shot.
Kerrigan said that the relationships that he had with his fellow coaches and teammates made it especially hard to just walk away from the sport.
He admitted in one interview that he “just loved football too much.”
