Jasen Bracy was diagnosed(诊断) with eye cancer when he was only one year old.Though he received several treatments,they all failed to save his eyesight,and at the age of 7,Jasen was completely blind.But Jasen never hesitated about following his dreams,no matter how tough they may have seemed.And it was this ambitious attitude that won him the role of captain on a local football team.
Jasen grew up playing football at least three times a week.He fell in love with the sport and knew that he wanted to give it a try himself.He started practicing with his dad,and two years ago,his parents gifted him a cellphone on his 13th birthday.Then he started contacting all the football team with it until they got a phone call from David Nichols,coach of the Modelo Raiders.
David admitted him the first time he saw Jasen.He asked himself “how am I going to do this?”,but after seeing the boy play,he realized the kid “could do anything”.What Jasen lacks in vision is compensated for by his super spatial(空间的) awareness and memory,so he knows exactly where his teammates are supposed to be,and throws the ball accurately.Most of the time,the players on the opposing team don't even know Jasen is blind,so they treat him like any other player.
“As a leader,I have to take control of this team,leading them through good and bad times.And I'm as tough as iron.I'm going to play hard,”said Jasen.
“He shows us there's nothing we can't do,and that reflects well on the other kids.Ever since he joined us,we're been attracted by him,”David said,“He changes our whole attitude towards life.”
