Joneson’s injury occurred while she was running down the field and was also a noncontact injury. This injury required surgery weeks later and is participating in physical therapy for five months, three days a week for 3060 minutes. She is anticipating returning to soccer in late April with a full recovery. “I won’t be able to play soccer my freshman year,” Joneson explains. “I don’t think that not playing freshmen year will not have much of an effect on my high school soccer career.” She also believes she will have to work hard to get reconditioned as a result of inactivity from the injury. Joneson knows of others who have not been able to come back from soccer related injuries and that makes her want to work harder. Yet, she is also glad this injury happened in her freshman year, and believes it will be easier to make a comeback from this point.
Joneson would like to further her soccer ability by being a collegiate studentathlete. “It would be great to be a college studentathlete,” Joneson claims. “I believe that my injury will not negatively impact the college recruiting process, because college recruiters typically do not look at ninth graders.”
