Braelyn Hill hurt the knee while playing softball, requiring surgery
Eastlake’s Braelyn Hill ran for foul ball in softball, planted her foot and felt something give. She changed positions and played catcher the next game. Although she didn’t have any pain, she knew something was wrong because her knee was wobbling.You read about pro players and even college athletes who get surgery and are back fairly soon. For Hill it was a torturous year and a half after doctors used a third of her patella tendon to repair the ACL and then endless physical therapy.
“If I returned too soon, I might have reinjured it. When you’re out, you realize how lucky you are to play sports and not be injured. The first day back, I really didn’t expect to play but once I was in the pool it was an amazing feeling.Doctors will tell you that being in the pool is probably best for recovering from that type of injury because there’s far less strain on the knee than, say, playing catcher in softball where you’re constantly up and down.
“She went to every game,” said Titans coach Edgard Espinosa. “She didn’t just want to be the best athlete, she wanted to be the best teammate. At first we moved her outside and she excelled there, showing off her arm that was strong from playing catcher in softball, to score goals.
