Fighting back is hard! For sure mentally!
Imagine that you are 13 years old and your life is all about football. 5 days out of 7, practices or games.
And then misfortune hits you and youdo get a severe ACL injury.
In the beginning you don’t think about sports but 2 months later you don’t feel any pain anymore, you think you can play again but that isn’t the case.
You do need surgery to play your beloved sport again, but you are too big for a children’s surgery and still not mature enough for an adult surgery. And that your next consultation will take another 4 months. In the mean time twice a week going to physiotherapist.
That’s all you are allowed to do! This mentally does crack a 13 year old.
And the parents also!
Cheers,
Peter

Hopefully it gets sorted out and he can get back to it. Definitely sucks at that age.
They do think that he will be out until March next year 😔
Thx!
