Hi there! My name is Aaliyah Valladolid and I created this blog to record all my weekly findings of injury prevention research, learn a bit more about it, and express ideas I may have.
The reason I chose this topic was because I play competitive soccer and I experienced a knee injury and had surgery. The recovery was not fun either. I could not go back to playing soccer and had to rehabilitate my knee through physical therapy. I was lucky that my knee injury was not bad enough to where I couldn’t continue to do something I loved. There were many points in recovery where I became frustrated with the fact that I could have done something to prevent it.
Hopefully, through this blog I can share the information I find and some ideas I have with other athletes who are going, went through, or in all want to avoid injury so they can continue to pursue their passion.
