Senior outside hitter Jordan Bueter poses for a photo on April 20 at Copper Beech fitness center.
Covered in white scars and bruises, Jordan Beuter's knees have been continuously decaying the past four years — but the pain goes beyond that.
The Central Michigan volleyball player was never "injury-prone" prior to college. But Bueter said heavy weight-lifting and intense practices have caused numerous health problems. She has suffered from back pain, shoulder pain and even a concussion bad enough to eliminate her memory of an entire game.
Volleyball has and always will be Bueter's first love — but today, playing the sport comes with a cost.
