Hi all, last week my young (11) GK sustained a tear in her UCL. So she’s out of the game for 4 weeks minimum much to her dismay, though she seems to think she will be back in goal by October maximum. The hospital weren’t really sure on when she can return to it, just a case of rest and wait and then try. Now, she lives and breathes her role and is forever training (incidentally how she did sustained the injury). My question is this…. Is there anything we can do to keep her mind in the game and her end goal…but to still keep her hand in while she recovers. She still wants to train, just obviously not catching,diving etc. she’s worried that if she’s completely out then her speedy footwork will lapse, her hand eye coordination will suffer…basically offering me up any excuse she can think of so I will let her still do something…anything. Any suggestions at all? Apologies for the essay 😂
