And that's the next thing that impresses me.
Sarah is proof positive of the power of community and support.
Her brother John had endured injuries of his own, including a rare double ACL.
And he'd recovered.
He had a credibility and a story that was inspiring to Sarah as she encountered her own injury mountain.
We'll hear how her parents, other family and friends were always there to support her as well.
And truth be told, I'm convinced that Sarah is without question tough enough and gritty enough to have overcome her injuries alone.
But you can hear in her voice just how thankful she is today that she didn't have to.
Lastly, that quote of hers just resonates.
The fight it would take to come back.
Here's the thing about adversity of any type, injury or otherwise, when we've been through it before.
It can form a callus.
Calluses form to protect us.
They're the result of encountering friction.
If you're like me, the calluses on your hands are a source of pride.
They tell me and anyone willing to look at my hands, I guess, that I do the work.
Mental calluses are different.
They're unseen.
But for an athlete like Sarah, they're still there.
That lived experience can be hell to endure in the moment.
