[quote=Anonymous]I find that kids that are D1 ish athletes have low level depression when they can't do their passion. They might not even recognize it as depression because they think it's frustration and disappointment.

The reality is that you can't make her do anything. You can tell her to get a 2nd opinion and work hard in PT to come back, but if she doesn't want to there is nothing you can do. Also, don't tell her to quit, she either is going to succeed or fail. I'd also not quit I might be a team manager or something to stay active and involved.

There is rarely an athlete that does not deal with a huge set back, lots of pain, continuous PT, etc. This is part of the game, not something other than being an athlete.

Also, let her complain, you don't have to fix everything. Just stay positive and validate. I know this sucks, I'm sorry this is happening, I hope you can get back, let me know if there is anything I can do... not call the doctor, work harder, do more PT, quit. [/quote]
