Join me for Part 2 of the conversation with Team USA shortstop, Delaney Spaulding. Last week, you learned about Delaney’s journey to becoming an Olympic athlete and the sacrifices it took to get her there. But this week, we learn about the devastating injury that almost stripped that Olympic dream away from her. Here’s the story of her overcoming a heartbreaking ACL tear, how COVID had an impact on her recovery, the power of incredible teammates and coaches and her advice on why it’s important to keep injured athletes involved with the team, even when they aren’t cleared to play. If you know of an athlete who is recovering from an injury and the mental and physical strains of it...THIS IS THEIR EPISODE!
