None of us, from Coach Miller on down, had seen this kind of injury before.&nbsp;&nbsp;It was ugly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My fault \u2013 sure it was.&nbsp;&nbsp;My intention \u2013 I didn\u2019t even know that kind of injury existed, so absolutely not.&nbsp;&nbsp;Dave and I were competitors, we made each other better every time we wrestled.&nbsp;&nbsp;We went hard, not to hurt each other, but to become better.&nbsp;&nbsp;He was out for a few weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Coach<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I spent forty years as a coach.&nbsp;&nbsp;I did coach wrestling for more than twenty years, but my \u201cmain\u201d sport was track and field.&nbsp;&nbsp;And while I coached every event in the sport, I earned a reputation as a pole vault coach.&nbsp;&nbsp;Even today, retired, I am preparing my presentation on how to teach pole vault in a safe way.&nbsp;&nbsp;I\u2019ll present it to coaches at the state clinic at 8 am on Saturday morning at the end of January.&nbsp;&nbsp;(You can see it online \u2013&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ohiopolevaultsafety.org\/\">Ohio Pole Vault Safety<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pole vaulting is fun, it\u2019s exciting. It combines speed, strength, agility, daring, equipment, and knowledge.&nbsp;&nbsp;But there is an inherent danger \u2013 the vaulter is flying high in the air.&nbsp;&nbsp;It is technique that brings them safely into the enormous mats, rather than onto the hard ground.&nbsp;&nbsp;And the coaches teach that technique. Nationwide, coaches have made tremendous strides to make the event safer, but bad things can still happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We can\u2019t avoid every danger.&nbsp;&nbsp;As athletes, coaches, and humans, we assume a certain level of risk in what we do.&nbsp;&nbsp;We drive in ice and snow, we climb ladders, we even load lawn tractors onto trailers (<a href=\"https:\/\/dahlman.online\/index.php\/2022\/09\/18\/stupid-human-tricks\/\">Stupid Human Tricks<\/a>).&nbsp;&nbsp;Pole vaulters come down the runway with fifteen foot poles that launch them into the air.&nbsp;&nbsp;Wrestlers go back onto the mat.&nbsp;&nbsp;Football players, even the superbly fit and prepared players of the National Football League, play football.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fan<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I grew up in Cincinnati, and I\u2019ve been a Bengal fan since the franchise began.&nbsp;&nbsp;There was a whole lot of bad football in the last fifty-five years, but right now, the team is \u201chot\u201d.&nbsp;&nbsp;They\u2019re ranked third in the AFC, battling to be the top team.&nbsp;&nbsp;To be &#8220;Number One&#8221;, they have to beat the best team, the Buffalo Bills.&nbsp;&nbsp;And that was last night\u2019s game, Bengals versus Bills, in Cincinnati.&nbsp;&nbsp;Two of the top offenses in the NFL,&nbsp;&nbsp;matched against each other to decide the best in the Conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And the Bengals started out great, taking the ball on the opening kickoff and driving down the field for a touchdown.&nbsp;&nbsp;The Bills responded, making their own drive to score a field goal.&nbsp;&nbsp;The Bengals were on their second series, again marching down the field.&nbsp;&nbsp;Tee Higgins, a wide receiver, caught the ball over the middle, made a sidewise move, then ploughed into a defender, Bill\u2019s safety Damar Hamlin.&nbsp;&nbsp;It was a hard hit, like almost every hit in the NFL.&nbsp;&nbsp;Hamlin absorbed the blow, taking Higgins to the turf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hamlin jumped up, and so did Higgins; both clearly anxious to get ready for the next play in the showdown.&nbsp;Then Hamlin slumped back to the ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the NFL there are always injuries:  knees, backs, necks, ankles even heads.&nbsp;&nbsp;Every player knows the risk.&nbsp;&nbsp;But sometimes there are injuries so significant and awful that everyone stops, signals for help for the sidelines, and holds their breath.&nbsp;&nbsp;When quarterback Joe Thiesman broke his leg, everyone knew it. The game stopped.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Hamlin went down, and the entire field seemed to realize that this was something different.&nbsp;&nbsp;The trainers rushed out, did the basic \u201cABC\u2019s (airway, breathing, circulation),\u201d and realized that Hamlin\u2019s heart was stopped.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">People<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>They revived him on the field; CPR, AED and all the rest.&nbsp;&nbsp;It took almost ten minutes before the medical staff could transfer him to the ambulance to rush to the hospital.&nbsp;&nbsp;All we know today is he is alive, his heart is beating on its own, and he\u2019s in a \u201cmedically induced coma\u201d.&nbsp;&nbsp;We saw the \u201chumanity\u201d of the NFL last night.&nbsp;&nbsp;The young heroes of the game, Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow and the Bills quarterback Josh Allen, stood side by side with tears in their eyes.&nbsp;&nbsp;They looked as young as their twenty-six years.&nbsp;&nbsp;After the ambulance finally left, the teams went back to the locker rooms, and ultimately the game was postponed.&nbsp;&nbsp;The game, as important as it was, no longer mattered.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today the players will meet in their respective home cities.&nbsp;&nbsp;Their coaches, I\u2019m sure, will allow the time to speak, share, and process.&nbsp;&nbsp;I\u2019ve never had an athlete near death on the field.&nbsp;&nbsp;I have had athletes, and a coach, die in the midst of our season.&nbsp;&nbsp;Through forty years, the hardest thing I ever did as a coach was to stand, surrounded by young men, and lead them in their grief, even as I grieved myself.&nbsp;&nbsp;I suspect it\u2019s not much different in the Bills and Bengals meeting rooms today.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But the Bills and Bengals coaches will do exactly that.&nbsp;&nbsp;They will try to channel, or partition-off,&nbsp;&nbsp;their worry and grief.&nbsp;&nbsp;And then, slowly, maybe over the next couple days; they will return to practice, to their game, and to the life they  earned and chose on the field.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The game goes on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s the risk they assumed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>POSTSCRIPT &#8211; It&#8217;s Friday, January 6th, three and a half days after Damar Hamlin was transported to UC Hospital.  The news today:  his breathing tube has been removed and he is talking to doctors and family.
