Nichole Thompson tells story of tearing her ACL and onerous rehab. An outstanding inspiration, she has great thoughts about getting through the ordeal plus actually gaining something from injury and setback. Orthopedic Sports Surgeon, Dr. Sabrina Strickland from Hospital of Special Surgery, starts the episode by adding a good amount of science background about women and ACLs because women do tear their ACLs more often than men.
