ACL Injuries

My dd is one week away from playing in the same local tourney where last year she re-injured her repaired knee. She has been training so hard and has worked her way out of her brace and feels like her old self. She has been doing private training sessions for both strength as well as honing her soccer skills. We have even done local College id camps to replicate real games. Mile High Mom will not even watch her play because she is worried sick. She was at the game last year and saw our dd taken out from behind. This local tourney will not allow parents on the fields so I am hoping my spotting scope from the parking lot will allow me to keep a watchful eye on her. I find great joy watching my dd playing the game she loves so much and has worked so hard to return to. I am sure I will always hover over her and pray.

I keep hearing some really good things in Highlands Ranch and other beautiful areas in CO. I thought I was reading last years post. First off, give your dd a high five from all of us from Cali. I tore my ACL and hated rehab ((had to work full time with stay home mama bear)) and I stopped going. Hugh mistake. I can tell your dd loves the game of soccer. Tell her not to hold back and just go for it. Only one way to play. I 100% hope her ACL is even stronger. I've heard that is the case for some. Now I will confess my jealousy of all of you out in the Mile High. I feel like were getting so ____________________________________________________________________________________________ and if this____________________continues, many were start to______________________________and that will not be good. I hope to have that beer with you some day. Let go of the hovering but always pray. I let me dd drive to practice all by herself last night for the first time. I stayed home and played with my wife instead :) It was awesome. My dd came home and feels all independent and the coolest things she siad was this. "Thanks dad for trusting me tonight. I still want you to come some times and watch. I like our talks on the way to practice." Letting go as a dad is hard to do but the rewards I got last night was insane.
 
That is awesome. My dd has been driving to her practices since Jan., boy was that a tough one to let go. She drives her late Grandma's old car so we now she has a guardian angel with her. I am still hopeful for Surf, sometime or whenever it happens and am really looking forward to ECNL and to HS seasons. We have to believe we will all get past this and we can once again be on the sidelines or parking lots or at the end of some video feed. Our kiddos need to get out and play!

Silver lining, only thing positive is that all of our dd’s have more time to recover and get strong from this terrible Injury. My dd is 18 months out and has been good to go for the past 12 months but her recovery can only benefit from this delay.

My DD is 110% if it were possible. Chomping at the bit to play. Strong, fit and hungry. Hopefully it will be safe enough to at least scrimmage sometime soon as she is now almost 18 months out of surgery and has had no set backs or issues (God willing it stays that way).

That is awesome bro. I'm so happy for you and your dd. My dd drove two practices in a row all by herself and today she said, "dad, want to come watch me practice." Even tough guy like me and get a little emotional from time to time. I miss are bonding times together in the car rides. I dont know, but we have grown so much the last two years. She got her picture ID in the mail and was so excited. If we all get together at showcase someday, let's drink to life!!!
 
Everyone, a real scrimmage is happening right now as I type this on a message board in socal. There is hope after all. You guys rock. So happy for you and Texas and AZ. You guys get soccer and many new folks with jobs and players. Socal will not be the mecca of soccer anymore because the exodus has started.

It was the local host team.
Reals top team and the other CSprings ECNL teams are in the other bracket. We will play 2 other local teams before we will get to play our top team. Boy I hope they will show some mercy on Sunday.
