In our 6th conversation with Joanna Lohman as she recovers from her ACL injury, we talk about the last steps in rehab during months 6-9, her traveling, and how she is prepping for preseason.
We also talk about:
- controlling what she can control
- giving herself grace in the return to preseason process
- clothing to reduce swelling on plane
- ice pack on plane - ask flight attendant to fill with ice
- what she did everyday (even traveling) to make sure she stayed in her rehab
- mini band, sliders, and a tennis ball
- the process can be a up and down roller coaster ride - moments of pain and fatigue - give yourself time to recover if you needed
- stay hopeful
- progression - always progress
- latch onto a teammate when coming back to training
