Down And Out

[Alex]

Im currently awaiting a knee surgery that may end my cheer career, im so upset and bored. Plz let's get a convo going that can keep me more positive!!! Anybody here having recent success returning from injury?

I know people who had had surgery and returned a few months later doing minimal things. Even if you can't compete ask if you can be like sort of a "team mom" that way you can go to competition still and everything and still be part of your team!

 

[cheer coach k]

Im a coach and have a returning senior who had to sit out last year after having 2 acl surgeries and a fractured back....the good news is, she's back and stronger than ever! Make sure you do everything your dr and physical therapist tells tou to, no matter how stupid or pointless it seems! Keep a positive attitude and your body will heal itself in a positive manner!

And just think, during your first few months of down time, you'll have so much time to fierce board!
