"But I know who I am. I'm a hard worker. I love playing football. And yes, I hope I'm going to score many goals here. And I know I'm not 100%, but there's more to come for sure. "I hope I score a lot of goals, a lot of assists and a lot of wins. This is what we need now. We need a big momentum now as the season is getting tougher and tougher."

And Hall says that for much of her running career, "I got really used to being in this position of someone who is on the edge of a breakthrough yet never actually doing it." But looking at Hall's approach to running, and her commitment to the sport over nearly a decade of ultras, it seems like it likely wasn't a matter of if, but when her breakthrough would happen.

Sitting out last year and the times before, you don't take getting to play this game for granted. You play every game to win. You play every game with a chance to go to the playoffs or play in the Super Bowl. Unfortunately, that's not always the case, and if it's not the case when we take the field or whenever it may be, I'm thankful for the opportunity to play this game. And I'm not going to ever pass it up.

Ryan Leonard was back on the ice for the Washington Capitals on Thursday morning. The 20-year-old winger, donning a light blue, no-contact jersey, skated and participated in drills for the first time since Anaheim Ducks defenseman Jacob Trouba injured Leonard's shoulder and face with a hit on December 5.

Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch hears from sources on rival teams that the Cardinals don't seem to be "actively seeking to trade" outfielder Lars Nootbaar. This doesn't necessarily mean that Nootbaar won't be dealt, of course, but there are also some obvious reasons why the Cardinals might want to wait until beyond this offseason to move the 28-year-old.

The Indianapolis Colts are sticking with Daniel Jones despite the left fibula fracture the quarterback has played with the past two games. But even if they weren't inclined to keep Jones as their starter, the Colts' options are limited. Anthony Richardson Sr., their 2023 fourth overall draft pick, remains on injured reserve and still is not cleared for football-related activities after sustaining an orbital fracture in his face in a freak pregame incident in October, coach Shane Steichen said Wednesday.

Giants infielder Casey Schmitt underwent surgery on his left wrist Tuesday, but he's expected to be recovered, or very close, when spring training opens in February. Doctors removed Schmitt's carpal boss the bony lump on the back of the wrist near the base of the middle or index finger the team announced Tuesday morning. The team said the procedure typically takes 8-10 weeks of recovery.

It has been a slow and demanding recovery, but the Blaugrana never stopped believing in one of the La Masia players earmarked as a first-team star since his early days in the academy. Such is the faith in Bernal that Barcelona decided to renew his contract even before he had returned to the pitch, extending his deal until 2029 with the approval of the coaching staff and Hansi Flick.

While he has been training alone with goalkeeping coach Jose Ramon de la Fuente for weeks, the plan is now accelerating. Ter Stegen is expected to rejoin group training within the next two weeks. If everything goes according to plan, he should receive the medical green light before the end of 2025. His recent social media post, captioned "It's great to be back with the team," confirms that he is already reintegrating with the squad dynamics.

The trio was dominant and showed great chemistry in the Bears' two games against the Cleveland Monsters late last week, scoring six goals combined, with all three players tallying once in each game. Protas even notched his first three-point game as a professional in Friday's contest, highlighted by a brilliant primary assist on a Trineyev goal where he put the puck through his legs before dishing on his backhand.

"I'm fine, I've worked in the gym and off it these past few weeks. I just miss the pitch! I'm feeling great both physically and mentally." "No athlete likes being injured, I'm sorry I couldn't help the team during this period. I took a little longer to recover because when it comes to calves, you have to be careful. It's better not to risk being out for another three or four weeks."

Fans love a good comeback story, and baseball arguably produces the most of any sport. Each season, there are at least a handful of players who once built strong reputations, only to fall on hard times -- through underperformance or, more often, injury -- and are forced to start fresh with a new club. Then, somehow, they manage to rediscover what made them great in the first place.

On Monday night, Germany exploded for six goals in front of a loud Leipzig crowd. The dominating victory served as revenge against Slovakia after the disappointing 2-0 result in September. It also sent a message to the rest of the world that Germany is ready to rock and roll in next year's FIFA World Cup. The craziest part about Germany's five wins in World Cup Qualifying
