Xolos Midfielder Johana Rosas
Johana Rosas played and trained with a broken wrist that required surgery for over a month. That's pretty much all you need to know about the way she plays the game. The injury has kept Rosas on the sideline for most of her first professional season with Xolos of Tijuana, but she sees it as a blessing in disguise.
Despite having torn both of her ACLs in the past, she says this injury has been the most frustrating, but it has shown her resilience and dedication to continue playing at the pro level. It's also given her a chance to get a glimpse of the professional lifestyle and dynamics from a different perspective, one that she could not have seen had she been playing and training every day.
We sit down with Rosas to discuss her surgery and injury recovery (03:10), her training schedule with Xolos and her journey to the pro ranks (08:30), adjusting to the pro game, and differences between the way the game is played in the US and in Mexico (15:32), the growth of Liga MX and the standard of play in the league vs. in the US (23:00), the vibes within the team in her first year with Xolos (37:34), playing with a broken wrist (39:57), and baseball players vs. soccer players (47:00), before Julio puts her through his infamous hot seat round. (52:48).
