You find out who you really are when things stop going your way and you keep showing up anyway. Tough times don’t last. Tough teams do 💪🏻💙💛

First time back on the sidelines 💙💛 Felt great to be around the guys again — lots of laughs and good talks. Even though we didn’t get the win, the team played with heart. Proud of everyone. Thanks for keeping me inspired 🙏 #Family #Brotherhood #RutlandFootball

Today was a huge step literally. I got to half pedal for the first time, stood up using the walker, did some assisted standing, heel raises, and even a few mini squats. It might seem like small stuff, but for me it’s the most I’ve done yet. The most my knees have bent.

Homecoming Night 🏈💛💙 Big night for the Rutland family — under the lights, at home, with the crew. Let’s bring the energy and make it count! ⚡️⚡️ RSS vs OKM 7:30PM @ Mission Sports Field M15 #homecoming #highschoolfootball

Back where I belong 🙏 Tough one tonight, but we left it all out there. 💛💙 #ThunderFamily #GrindSeason #football #homecoming

Huge day at physio 🙌 Walked without braces, deeper squats, hamstring curls, balance work & got out of my wheelchair on my own. Super sore but it felt amazing to move again 💪 Big thanks to Roy Movement Okanagan for pushing me today 🙏 #RoadToRecovery #NextRepMentality

First time on the stationary bike tonight. I couldn’t make a full rotation yet, but it’s a start. Walking’s getting smoother, squats are getting deeper, and every session hurts in the best way possible. 1.5 hours of hard work, pain, and progress. Step by step, it’s coming back.

Friday Night Lights 🔥 🔵 Rutland ⚡️ vs 🔴 MBSS Bears 🐻 🏈 Friday, October 24th 🕔 5:00 PM 📍 Mission Sportsfield M15 Another big game under the lights — let’s bring the energy and make some noise for the Thunder! 💪💛💙

Back on the sidelines 🙏⚡️First time standing with the guys again today. It felt amazing to be out there with the team. The boys played with grit and heart and pulled off a huge 17–13 win. Everyone was fired up. Proud of this squad 💪💛💙

It’s not easy — but every small win counts. Lower in the squat, stronger on the bike, closer to where I want to be 🙌 #StayLockedIn #RoadToRecovery #FootballMindset #NoDaysOff

First time using the leg press machine and we added in some Romanian deadlifts with the kettlebell today. Feeling stronger every week getting better every day 🔥 Thanks Roy 🙏🏻🙏🏻

🏈 WIN OR GO HOME 🏈 Tonight’s the night. The final game of the regular season — everything on the line. Rutland vs KSS 🔥 Winner moves on to the playoffs… loser’s season ends here. Let’s pack Mission Sports Field M15 and make some noise for the boys in blue and gold 💙💛

This video might be more for me than anyone else. People might find it boring but I wanted to show how hard this really is for me and show the grind. 💪 Today was one of those tough physio sessions that tested everything — strength, pain tolerance, and mindset. Every rep hurt.

When I feel bad that I was injured, I look at Michael and the massive injury he had, and watch the comeback!! You got this Michael!! You will dominate Grade 11 and 12!

Another first today, I finally got on the leg extension machine. My legs were shaking like crazy but I got it done. Every session a little stronger, every rep a step forward 🔥

They see the workout. They don’t see the pain, the patience, or the quiet fight to get here. Every rep is a reminder — I’m not done yet.

Hard work + family support = results. This started as just a board to stay motivated with school, workouts & physio. Every square meant effort, every checkmark progress. Filled the whole thing. Discipline works — the grind adds up one box at a time. 💪 #TrustTheProcess

Big day at physio today. Pushed hard, legs were shaking, but it felt good to move forward. Even better grinding with my QB Carter Cook both of us working through rehab and getting better every session. Step by step. Rep by rep. We’ll be back stronger.

📚 Pre-Calc AP: 90.7% (A) Super proud of this one. With my injury, I had to learn a lot of the new concepts from home watching lessons, doing the practice, and pushing through even on tough days. Then I came back, wrote the test… and I’m currently sitting at a 90.7% in
