I Want To Be Good At Soccer Again

<div class="ExternalClass8892DC9D589D4198BC03BBAC1CF1A1CD"><p>​<span class="ms-rteFontFace-1 ms-rteFontSize-3 ms-rteThemeForeColor-2-4" style="">I injured myself in soccer. I hurt my Achilles tendon and I had to take two years off. during those two years I lost all of my skill. I came back and it was hard, I was struggling socially and physically, so I quit. Now I'm out of shape, I lost even more skill and I don't know what to do with my soccer situation. When I quit my dad had to pay for the remaining soccer practices, and we aren't rich. I want to be good at soccer again but I don't know what to do. I don't even know if I will ever be good again. ​</span></p></div>

Think of all those athletes that came back after an injury and did well.  You can do this if you decide. And if not, find another interest.  </span></p><p><span class="ms-rteFontFace-1 ms-rteFontSize-2 ms-rteThemeForeColor-2-4" style="">Reach out and let us know how you are doing. </span></p><p><span class="ms-rteFontFace-1 ms-rteFontSize-2 ms-rteThemeForeColor-2-4" style="">Take care, </span></p><p><span class="ms-rteFontFace-1 ms-rteFontSize-2 ms-rteThemeForeColor-2-4" style="">Naina, counselor</span></p></div>
