@17SophiaRose The club no one wants to join. You will rise. And you’ll be a better athlete for it.

I was crying. My parents walked on the pitch, held me. We didn’t need words, we knew. I tore my ACL. Scrimmage, a cut I made a thousand times. This time my body went one way and my knee went the other. Can’t remember the last time I shed a single tear. I don't cry, so why can’t I stop? Physical and mental toughness is my identity. Now I’m broken, can’t walk and don’t want to get out of bed. Why me, why now? Will coaches pull my offers? Will coaches recruiting me just ghost me? Phoenix showcase. North Carolina in May. Nationals in Seattle with my Michigan Hawks ECNL teammates and coaches. Summer visits and ID Camps. All gone. Parents told me not to play basketball, risking injury. Have I been overdoing it? Training and lifting too hard? I wasn’t getting enough sleep. Not enough recovery. I even tweeted, ‘Best ability is availability.’ I’m so fucking stupid. Spring break with friends. Prom. Summer. Senior year. 12 month return to play, can’t get surgery for 3 weeks? Never been this low, is this depression? Wrote this night before my surgery at rock bottom. Was going to post a thumbs up hospital pic the next day but my emotions were too raw. I had surgery on my knee, but it was my heart that was broken. That was 4 weeks ago today. I started journaling everything. You know the fall. Now witness the rise. More on that next week. Hope you’ll come with me on this journey. I need your support. #2027CenterBack #UnCommitted @TopDrawerSoccer @thesoccerwire @elitesoccerplay @wearesoccershow @toppreps @uncommittedGrls @wearesoccer_mi @COLSOCStats @ECNLgirls @ImCollegeSoccer @G2CollegeSoccer @justwsports @misoccernetwork @co11egesoccer @PrepSoccer @ImWomensSoccer @myrecruitinghub @D1ProScouts @keyplayernation @RealmRecruiting @TheECNL @ImYouthSoccer @Discover_CS @RecruitSoccerXP @usclubsoccer @sportsrecruits @CSAPrepStar @CollegeSoccerID @frontrowsoccer @idmyathlete @girlssoccernet @socceraddicts @playsbigger @get2collegath @premierplaybook @valued_stars @Internespo @valued_sports @vosrecruitng @recruit_route @Scout_ScottC @TheUncommitted0 @YAthletesF @Women_Coaches @ncsa @ProspectID_ @TotalSoccerShow @ColSportSheets @METNational @RemarkablesFC

2 spring friendlies against our SD rivals, 2 goals. Not at my fastest yet, but separating from back lines again. Layers and versatility returning. First time in years with no surgeries or rehab going into summer! Just building with this group. Fall is coming.

Excited for this new chapter for you! @chasemartin_12 ❤️

@AvaTibor 👏👏👏

Recruits, be smart about the content you see. While watching the College Cup, here’s something to consider from a research project I’m doing. These are ALL the programs that have reached the Cup for the previous 12 years. You can see who the repeat programs are and notice 3 of the top 5 from the list are back again. I also built a list of programs that consistently send players to the NWSL, also very few there offer any consistency. Many accounts are playing on your uncertainty and push the idea that conference/division/program hype = success. It does for many, but also many others chasing will end up undervaluing their academic, athletic, and financial opportunities that support extraordinary experience and real college success. Your college decision will shape you. Build your own outcome-based process around the things that matter, and don’t be afraid to reach out for more information from the players and people who are actually in this space.
