This is actually a soccer question, but...
I play on my school's soccer team, and next week we have a game that I am dreading. When we played the same team last year, one of my teammates had dribbled the ball down the far sideline, and then passed it towards the center of the field. I was running for the post, and as I ran full speed, their goalie jumped and tapped the ball straight up. He saw me coming, and we both knew if he had control of the ball and I ran into him, I was red carded and gone. If he didn't have control of the ball and I ran into him, oh well. I was still a few steps away, and the ball came down, and he bobbled it straight up again. As soon as he could tell that I wasn't going to be able to get stopped or turn around him, he grabbed the ball with both hands. I was really mad and did something terrible. I didn't slow down, lowered my shoulder, and drove him into the goalpost as hard as I could. When I stood back up, it was the scariest moment of my life. He looked dead, he wasn't moving, and he wasn't screaming or crying. I got thrown out of the game and suspended for the next 5 games. I heard that his skull was fractured, and his jaw and both collarbones and eye socket bones got broke by what I did. Well, he and I were both juniors last year. He's recovered fully, and starting for them again, and I'm still starting for us. We play them, and it's at their place this year, and they are a really good team, and always have a lot of their students show up at their games. I know that I am going to have to see this guy for the first time since what I did to him, and I know his teammates and their fans are all going to have it in for me. I'm a tough guy, but man...this is going to suck majorly. What should I do?

WOW... ok well it sounds to me that you got really angry at this guy, so you attacked him and he got seriously injured.
I know it must be really hard to face him again... but honestly you've got to do it.
If you don't, then you might as well be considered a wimp because you won't face him.
This time, when you meet him face-to-face... say sorry! It might be scary, but trust me... they say that you should keep your friends close, but keep your competitors closer.
Sometimes your competitors become like friends because you are always trying to win against them.
Say sorry about what you did, he's going to feel soo much better. If you don't say sorry, he's going to think that you are a big meanie who just injures players and has an anger management problem.
Stay strong! thats the most important thing. Even though you did this to him, doesn't mean you can feel sorry and just suck at the soccer game. Play hard... but don't get too intense that you do this again.
I hope I helped and everything goes great!
