AFTER ACL
When I was growing up, a knee injury meant the kiss of death for an athlete. With the medical advancement of today, athletes are now coming back as good or better than before. Candace Parker tore her's not once, but twice, and came back to lead Tennessee to back to back National Championships.
My daughter tore her ACL on June 19th and was starting 128 days later and her team , Texas A&M,finished the season by making the NCAA Sweet 16 and were ranked in the final Top 10 of both polls.

Two of our club kids, Jasmine and Kierra, tore their ACL's last June, ironically at the A&M Camp. Even more ironic, these two play for the same high school, Klein Forest. The good new and even even more ironic, both kids came back the same game and are currently contributing on a team that has vastly improved in one of the toughest districts in the city.
