Every now and again, life throws a curveball at you in the ways you might least expect… and it is how we react to them that helps us build as people.
This is Lottie's journey and she overcame the curveball life threw at her.
After tearing her ACL during a football match, it would have been easy for Lottie to stop right there and then, take a month or two off of her training and pick it up again later…
...But not Lottie!
Just A WEEK after her injury (and still on her crutches) she was back in the gym and training hard. Working alongside her physio and listening to her body, a personalised plan was created THAT WORKED AROUND HER!
"I was in quite a bad place with my health and my weight.
I was playing football and I just kind of got a push in the back, my leg was planted and my knee just started hurting, quite a bit… I tore my ACL.
I think I was back after like a week and a half! I was still on my crutches, Tim and Tom (DVCC Trainers) just said "Come in, it's better to come in and do a little bit than to not do anything”
They've completely done it so that it suits me. I spoke to them about what pain I was having, what I was able to do.
Tim knows I love rowing, he did it so that I could do it one legged, so I had a little slider on the floor so my bad leg doesn't need to do any work.
It's so personal. Everything they do is for YOU. It's not about what this person is doing, what that person is doing, it's completely what is the best thing for you. and I think… What's better than that?”
