Summary: We talk to Ali Krieger about the highs and lows of her ACL injury recovery. She opens up about what was frustrating about return to sport, how she learned to value a different perspective while sitting on the sideline, and how her script of what happened in the following years couldn’t of been written any more perfect. She talks about her initial feelings, the hardest mental and physical battles she faced, and how she used small goals each day to help her feel the progress of her recovery. Ali also speeks about what her dad taught her at a young age that helped her through the ACL recovery and is something she still uses to this day. We also play a fun rapid-fire answer game with Ali and get a “February Feels” playlist from her that we will share via Spotify.
