For those who know me well, or even stepped foot in my room, know that I’m one of those people that absolutely love love love inspirational and motivational quotes. My mirror is adorned by 25 multi-colored post-it notes with quotes, sayings, and words of wisdom. They remind me to be better, stronger and smarter.

This week’s quote by Mia Hamm (A Worldwide Soccer Legend) is important to me because I have to report to school is in less than three and a half months. The countdown has begun and my teammates and I have started to prepare for next season. Similar to most other college-athletes, we were given a Summer Packet to aid in our training for the Fall. Although I’m not cleared to run yet, it’s been critical for me to do my PT exercises and bike to increase my cardio. Today, however, was an awesome day in the recovery process since my “3000 mile knee tune up”. First, the bottom-most incision has had a hole that hasn’t closed, and we figured it was just a stitch which was being stubborn – today it finally came out so I’ll be able to jump in the pool in a few days! Second, I was cleared to squat which means I can start dancing on tables again (just kidding!). But really, today has been awesome and I know that before I know it I’ll be able to run and play again 🙂

In the meantime, here’s the quote of the week, hope your inspired as I am!

“I’ve worked too hard and too long to let anything stand in the way of my goals. I will not let my teammates down and I will not let myself down.” – Mia Hamm
