    I was 12 when I did my ACL. I loved playing football with all of me, but I never got my confidence back after that. Obviously football isn’t my career but this documentary means a lot. ❤❤❤

    i honestly cannot image how hard it must be for them, 2 of the most amazing footballers, to miss THE WORLDCUP which is every footballers dream stage. looking at them go through every little process for the comeback makes me genuinely emotional and paintful but also very very proud ♥ now that theyre back on the pitch, i hope they can shine brighter than ever🌟🌟!!

    Hearing Beth and Viv describe what they went through reminded me of when I ruptured the ACL in my left knee back in March 2006. Crazy thing is that it was during the warmup before a game. I planted my left foot while passing the ball with my right foot, with my body leaning slightly to my left when my left foot slid left as well and I heard a "pop". The knee isn't meant to bend to the left, but mine did.

      whos, Viv? she had a hamstring graft from the other leg to create a new ACL - Beth used the patella idk why there was a different approach, Leah also seemingly used the hamstring from the other leg (don't know about Laura) would be interested to know why there was a different surgery for them

    Are women footballers getting more acl injuries now because they are playing more and at a more intense level as they are getting alot better than they were a few years ago but not using the right facilities or something different that the men pro footballers do?

    • @Charlottec968
      @Charlottec968 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      I think Viv said her minutes doubled from one season to another without any significant change 'behind the scenes' male footballers from a young age prepare the body to expect a high level of football, female footballers do not experience the same treatment - there is a distinct difference at academy level between the sexes in the way they are raised. the male body is used to training at a high level from a very young age but because the women's game has progressed at a fast pace the training hasn't kept up with the demands of the sport
