Cobbe-Hoggan well on his way to international supremacy
MEDICINE HAT, AB — It wasn’t a ‘severe’ shoulder injury, but Ethan Cobbe-Hoggan says it was bad enough to keep him away from the judo mat for about six weeks.
“I don’t know what it was really, I was working on one of the more technical pieces that’s not really related to judo,” said the 16 year-old judoka out of the Medicine Hat Judo Club. “I twisted my shoulder the wrong way, it started hurting and it didn’t stop.”
Cobbe-Hoggan continued training and competing on the bummed shoulder for about a month, even squaring off against some of the best fighters in the country during the Judo Canada National Development Camp in May.
