“No athlete is truly tested until they have stared an injury right in the face and came out of the other side stronger than ever.” -Anonymous. Right now, everything seems overwhelming and it has taken me some time to deal with this on my own before I could share what has happened. On Friday June 14th, during the Pan American verification, I ruptured my achilles. This seemed like and still seems like such an impossible thing to have happened. It was very unexpected and it was very hard for me to come to terms with the fact that I needed surgery and will be missing my season. I am truly grateful that I had such amazing people by my side when this went down. It was very hard for me mentally and emotionally and I’m thankful that I had these people by my side, even in distance. I am happy that surgery went well and I can’t wait to be back in the gym training, but first...recovery! #roadtorecovery
