The Basketball Injury That Changed My Mind I was playing basketball. I landed on someone else's foot and rolled my ankle. My right ankle has been sprained many times. I went home, put a bandage on it, used ice. Rest, Ice, Compress, Elevate. The RICE formula. That was the plan. Reduce the swelling.

Then my mum spoke to me. She had been reading a book by Louise Hay. The book said every physical problem has an underlying emotional reason. Mum looked it up. A sprained ankle meant fear of moving forward.

I argued with her. I said, "Mum, it has nothing to do with my emotions. I landed on someone's foot. I rolled my ankle."

But later, I thought about it. Was I afraid of something? Was there fear of moving forward in my life? I realized there probably was. That idea stayed with me.
