I was crying.
My parents walked on the pitch, held me.
We didn’t need words, we knew.
I tore my ACL.

Scrimmage, a cut I made a thousand times.
This time my body went one way and my knee went the other.

Can’t remember the last time I shed a single tear.
I don't cry, so why can’t I stop?
Physical and mental toughness is my identity.
Now I’m broken, can’t walk and don’t want to get out of bed.

Why me, why now?
Will coaches pull my offers?
Will coaches recruiting me just ghost me?

Phoenix showcase. North Carolina in May. Nationals in Seattle with my Michigan Hawks ECNL teammates and coaches. Summer visits and ID Camps.
All gone.

Parents told me not to play basketball, risking injury.
Have I been overdoing it? Training and lifting too hard?
I wasn’t getting enough sleep. Not enough recovery.
I even tweeted, ‘Best ability is availability.’
I’m so fucking stupid.

Spring break with friends. Prom. Summer. Senior year.
12 month return to play, can’t get surgery for 3 weeks?
Never been this low, is this depression?

Wrote this night before my surgery at rock bottom.
Was going to post a thumbs up hospital pic the next day but my emotions were too raw.
I had surgery on my knee, but it was my heart that was broken.

That was 4 weeks ago today.
I started journaling everything.
You know the fall. Now witness the rise.
More on that next week.
Hope you’ll come with me on this journey.
I need your support.

Thanks for the shout out of my girl! This back line was phenomenal! When all 4 of them were on the field together along with our goalie Sophie Keener, not a single goal was allowed by them the whole season! 😱 Truly historical! @RyanRadcliffe15 @5StarPreps @MaxPreps @wvlt

That’s my girl!!!

⁣🎥 ⚽️⭐ A few highlights from our state championship game. Proud of this whole team but especially proud of being part of a defensive line that played all 100 minutes while not giving up a goal. This was the 7th straight postseason game not allowing a goal! Watch with volume 🔊on to hear @MarkNagiTDOT great analysis of the match 💪🏼🫶🏼🏆⠀Sophomore season ✅

Major an excellent through ball to Cope, in to Blue, shot blasted but self defense deflected by their keeper.

Followed shortly by strong tackle/win from @CadenceNesbit28 on their counter.
