Bouncing Back
I have heard it a million times but now I am living proof, it isn’t easy coming back from an ACL. I felt like I took my time and didn’t rush but no matter what, you are going to have weaknesses and over-compensate. These things just happen and its about rolling with the punches and what kind of an attitude you have. I have had my days where I am so frustrated with my body and with my play but I also know, I am recovering from a major injury and surgery.
Thank goodness for Pia and how supportive she has been. It was my quad, then my knee and this camp it was my groin. Its hard emotionally to not be 100% healthy because even when I am right now, my fitness and playing is average. They always say you aren’t back to yourself for an entire year, so I still have one month. Every camp I get closer and closer but then my body breaks down. I know that I will get there though.
Pia brought me in before announcing the roster and said they had a really hard time with the decision. I’m not healthy and they need 18 players that can contribute which I completely agree with. She said, to take my time and the Olympics are the big picture. We both know we need to win this week to get there first but I feel confident that will happen.
Right now, that leaves me spending a week out here in LA rehabbing with Omi then head to Philly for the final 2 weeks to train everyday with James Galanis. My first priority is getting healthy then its getting fit. That is where I am. Wish me luck and the team in qualifiers. Go USA!
