Montevallo Golfer Wes Cain is returning to the University for his
second year. Cain was forced to miss the second semester of his Freshman
year due a concussion he suffered.
While moving into the Peck dorm on campus he hit his head on the back
of a cabinet, “ I didn’t think anything of it at first” said Cain but
not long after he became affected by it. “ It turned into the worst six
months of my life” he described.
Cain’s injury was far more severe than a normal concussion. His
injury was to his Cerebellum, a part of the brain that helps control
motor skill and balance. Normal everyday tasks became too much for Cain
to handle. 
Eventually his parents decided to bring him home until the next
semester. The recovery period began but was rough for Cain. “ I couldn’t
do anything” he says “ getting out of bed was the hardest. I would
throw up every time because I was so dizzy.”
After six and half months, he was finally able to play golf again.
“Getting back out there was tough at first but I continued to work.”
The journey did not end there however. Cain is currently ineligible to
play for the Montevallo Golf Team. He does not meet the hour
requirements because his injury forced him to miss a semester.
Cain has not let that stop him and looks forward to competing again next semester.
