Carrie Lawrence was at the top of her game this off-season. After a different journey into NWSL, she not only became a regular with the Orlando Pride, but she recently signed a multi year extension deal to stay with the club. In preseason, Carrie tore her ACL again for the 2nd time. She is now into her rehab process about 5 weeks and speaks to me about the challenges she is facing, how she gets through the highs and lows, and how she is expectant that the journey will help her have a different perspective when she makes it back on the pitch.
