My name is Olivia Coleman and I am on the Arizona State Women’s Soccer Team. Soccer has been my sport for so long, but unfortunately I haven’t been able to play it as much as I’d aspire to. I have torn my ACL 4 times in the past 5 years. Each time I come back and feel great, one small move has ripped me from the thing that makes me the happiest, 4 times. As a 19 year old, recovering from my 4th ACL tear, realizing this is my last chance to play my sport, it has given me a chance to truly appreciate the sport. Each tear has given me a new perspective and I’ve learned something from each injury, but the most important part is to remember to fight. Fight for what you love to do, it is all a mental game. It is all possible and I would love to share my story with athletes who have trouble getting through their injuries and the mental battle and grit it takes to come back. I’m here to tell them, it gets better, but it’s up to them and how they push themselves to be the best version.
