Salt City FC presents: Ellie Walbruch's Road to Recovery
Thanks to a partnership with Defense Drinks, BYU women's soccer star Ellie Walbruch will be sharing insights into her road back from a devastating ACL injury with Salt City FC.
As much as we try to avoid them, injuries happen in sports. When they do, it's all about recovery.
When soccer star Ellie Walbruch tore her ACL during a spring game, she knew the hours of pain, hard work and rehabilitation that were in front of her. Heartbroken but determined to move forward, Ellie has chosen the long road back to put her heart, mind and soul into recovering and returning to her team.
Thanks to a partnership with Defense Drinks, Ellie will be sharing insights into her Road to Recovery with Salt City FC. The college soccer star will contribute regular journal entries, dialogue and thoughts at saltcity.soccer about her journey, her trials and her victories as she tries to get back on the pitch.
She shared her first thoughts on the excruciating moment that left her injured on Instagram, which has been reprinted here with her permission:
“One day at a time.”
“Unfortunately, in yesterday’s spring game I injured my knee and doctors confirmed that I have torn my ACL. Having worked so hard in the offseason, I can’t wrap my head around taking the time off. But I will. I’m going to put my heart, mind and soul looking forward to do what I always do — grind to get back to the sport I love for. I know God has a plan for me and I’m going to trust in his timing. I love my family, coaches, teammates and all of Cougar Nation. And I know you will all be there rooting me on.”
