My mission is to provide support to young athletes who feel isolated and confused in their recovery process, through education, expert insight, and experiences from athletes.
Why This Project?
As a gymnast, I know how overwhelming and isolating an injury can feel. This past year, I tore my ACL, and one of the most difficult parts of recovery was that it did not have a clear answer. Throughout rehab I've learned how important it is to have access to resources and a strong support system, because the mental challenges of an ACL tear is almost more difficult than the physical recovery. This project is my way of giving young athletes the guidance, information, and encouragement that made such a difference in my journey!
