Each day begins at 7 a.m. with the first of at least three visits to the training room. Each session lasts 30 minutes to an hour as the medical staff uses ultrasound, icing, stretching, massage therapy and other treatment strategies on Choice's troublesome right hamstring.
Choice has felt completely healthy for only two games -- really only one game and the first quarter of another. He rushed for 196 yards and two touchdowns in the season-opening win over Notre Dame, then went over 100 yards while playing in just the first quarter of a lopsided win over Samford.
Choice suffered the strained hamstring in the third quarter of Tech's third game against Boston College. He had only five carries the following week against Virginia.
A bigger scare came against Army on October 20th when he hurt his right knee. He needed arthroscopic surgery to repair the cartilage, forcing him to miss the November 1st game against Virginia Tech.
Through it all, Choice last week became the first player in Georgia Tech history to rush for 1,000 yards in consecutive seasons, and he is close to leading the Atlantic Coast Conference in rushing for the second straight year.
The impressive numbers only make it more tempting for Choice to wonder how much better he and the Yellow Jackets (6-4) might have been if he had enjoyed a healthy season.
