For the most part, we moved on and finally accepted it. But in some cases, the memory still haunts us. Here are the first-person accounts of four college students who are willing to relive their worst sports moment — the one they will always wish they could go back to and change.

Broken Bones

“It was a Thursday night and we were playing our rival, Cortland, under the lights. It was pouring rain and cold, so the only way to stay warm was to play. After battling it out, we ended the first half tied 0-0.

Jennifer Bordoni, a sophomore at Monroe Community College in Rochester, NY, recalls her worst sports moment in her freshman year as a varsity soccer player.

“At the start of the second half, I remember going to clear the ball away from the goal and then suddenly slipping and falling. I flew up into the air, landing with all my weight on my arm. As I hit the ground, I knew it wasn’t good because I heard a cracking sound as I landed. After collecting myself, I got up and started playing again, but I couldn’t even feel my arm. My sister, and also my teammate, saw the panic and pain written all over my face and told our coach that I needed a substitute.

“Finally, my coach took me out of the game, where the trainers examined me. I tried to lift my arm above my head, but I couldn’t move it. Afterwards, I went to the hospital and spent hours waiting to get x-rays to find out that I had broken my collarbone. Unfortunately, I was out for the rest of my freshman season. And that was my worst sports moment ever.”
