“We have the luxury of a very deep team and we had been fortunate to avoid any significant injuries in the 2019 season. Athletes returning to play at an accelerated pace has not been something we’ve had to experience until when it mattered most… Playoffs.

Our senior center midfielder was an instrumental piece to our team’s success over the course of his 4-year career. Unfortunately, he suffered a hamstring strain two days prior to our first-round playoff game in 2019. Ross immediately jumped in and gave us an honest assessment of the injury and strategies to deal with it moving forward. Ross dove into treatment and advised that our center mid could play in our first-round game but if we could afford to rest him that he would be in a much better place physically with a few more days of treatment and recovery. Ross prepared him for our first-round game just in case and stayed with him throughout the game monitoring his warm-up and readiness, however, we, fortunately, did not need him and advanced. Ross continued to treat and rehabilitate daily and our starting center mid was able to return for our second-round playoff match and went on to play full minutes in both the state semi-finals and finals.

Thanks, Ross for helping get my son back on the field and making his final run with the boys so memorable.”
