By Dennis Miller Verified| Pleasanton Weekly Verified March 6 of this year was a lot like plenty of other days for Foothill High sophomore Aman Deshmukh. After school that day, the 15-year-old Deshmukh headed down to the track at Foothill for track-and-field practice, where he was working on the pole vault for the Falcons. And soon his whole life would change. Sometime during practice, Deshmukh went down the runway, planted the pole and launched himself in the air toward the bar. Somewhere along the way, things went wrong — very wrong.

I have long been a proponent of how sports, especially growing up, can give athletes unique perspectives on life, and help with maturity, as well as being better prepared in life. This week those thoughts translate into two stories I have in the Pleasanton Weekly about 15-year-old sophomores at Foothill High School.
