When is it enough?


One of the girls on my team called me yesterday to tell me she was having surgery on her knee.
If this was anybody else, it would be ok. One surgery, every college athlete has almost one.
But this girl, Brittany has had 3 knee surgeries, one hip surgery, cartilage injectioinis and multiple stress fractures. Now she is going to have another one.
When does a coach decide that this is it, that running is actually hurting her.
This girl has so much dedication and a heart for running, that it makes a situation like this hard. How could you take away something she loves? But how much more can her body take?
