“I’ve played with a broken hand, a sprained ankle, a torn shoulder, a fractured tooth, a severed lip, and a knee the size of a softball.”

Simplified Meaning:

This person is saying they've kept going and continued working hard despite being injured or hurt. Imagine a professional athlete who continues to play in games even when they are in pain from serious injuries. For example, picture a basketball player who still goes out on the court even though they have a severely twisted ankle or a boxer who keeps fighting with a split lip and swollen knee. This shows their dedication and determination to their sport, never giving up no matter how tough things get. It’s a way of saying that pushing through hard times is often necessary to reach your goals. In our everyday lives, this can mean working through difficulties, not letting obstacles stop us from achieving what we want.
