Injury Chronicles w Shea Groom
Episode description
Shea joins the Full 90' to discuss her recent ACL injury and road to recovery!
Shea unfortunately tore her ACL in a training this year, resulting in season-ending surgery. Now, 3 months post-op, Shea is beginning to run on the treadmill, jump, and close to putting her boots on for the basics.
Shea and I speak about how each of us have coped with the injury, beginning with actually accepting that *this* injury happened to us. Shea goes on to say how she would have thought this could happen early in her career, but never in year 9, while facing free agency on the horizon.
We discuss her hopes for the future and next contract, and how sometimes the business of football can be a cruel side of the sport to experience first-hand.
We also talk about several topics around injury, filling your time while injured, finding purpose outside football, and even touch on what to do after football! I really enjoyed this episode with Shea, I hope you do too!
