On the wrong side of 30, after sustaining a torn ACL at the 2012 European Championships, a torn calf muscle at 2014 World Championships and a broken foot at the 2016 European Championships, I thought my lacrosse career might be over when I tweaked my calf again in a friendly game in October of 2017. After meeting with Dr. Rodeo, who treated me and got me back on the field after all of those previous injuries, I went to work hard with Jamie and the wonderful team at HSS. I wanted to go out on my own terms, not because of nagging injuries. The guys managed to piece me back together for one last hurrah, and I represented Team France at the 2018 World Championships. I made it through injury-free and was the team's second leading scorer as we posted the best result in French lacrosse history. I can't overstate how grateful I am to them for allowing me to help my team reach new heights and to go out as close to on top as could be expected. Thanks guys!
