Played in my first pickup game yesterday since I tore my ACL/meniscus in September 2023.
It was a battle in my mind of being scared/nervous while being out on the pitch for the first time. Definitely still some trauma there from when I got injured.
But… I reminded myself I’ve put in the work and my knee is capable of performing at high levels again.
My nerves started to ease and I had a lot of fun playing again.
I even scored twice and played well!
Still a lot of work to be done, but I’m making progress.
