Hi McKenna. I watched your video because I blew out my Achilles’ tendon Monday playing basketball. Seeing your video makes me more connected despite I don’t even know you. But I am about to go thru what you went thru. My mom and dad are in Taiwan so very far away from SF. I finally broke down crying but I know I gotta keep my spirit up. Thanks again for vlogging.
I love your outlook on life and your injury. Praying for a quick and easy recovery. My daughter is a gymnast and having surgery to reconstruct a tendon in her knee this spring. I hope she will be as positive as you are. You are truly amazing.
Just tore mine in a rugby match about 4 hrs ago. Exactly 1 year from the day I tore my bicep. So overwhelmed with frustration and disappointment. So over stressed with having to miss work and paying for surgery. But thank you for what you said, we are here on earth for Gods plans.. not ours! Cheers!
I ruptured my achilles about seven weeks ago, coming up eight on Sunday. I did it while doing cheerleading, I was warming up a whip through to tuck and in the middle of the last backhandspring it felt like I kicked somebody. I completely understand what you went through and watching this video has actually brought me comfort knowing I'm not alone in this. Thank you for posting this :)
I just ruptured my achilles on Sunday playing basketball and I was really down about it. All I could think about was everything I couldn't do but watching this has really lifted my spirits. This was God's plan for the both of us and even though I don't understand why, at least I have faith that he knows what he's doing. I have surgery this Wednesday and I'm glad everything went okay for you. I hope your recovery is going well!
Spoken like an articulate mature true athlete. You realize injuries come with competing and u know you with your athleticness and your perseverance you'll return in top level form.Good luck great attitude. True team player as well
I’m a level 5 and just broke my ankle on Sunday and I’m gonna miss all of this season. I’m so ready to be back in the gym and work on my updated skills. I’m gonna come back better than ever and so are you. We are in this together. Love ya ❤️
So inspired by you! I had a similar situation and injury last year and I wish I could've had the same outlook as you. You're such an amazing person, this makes me look up to you so much more. I know you're gonna kill you're comeback!
Hey, you inspire me so much. I had heel surgery in July and I had danced for 10 years before it. I was devastated, I will be able to dance again but idk when. It's been hard and and still not better but your videos like this keep me strong❤❤❤Thank yiu
Dude, your positive outlook & faithfulness to God's will is SO inspiring. Definitely will be praying for you during this trial.. that being said, our trials become such a testimony to God's faithfulness to us & you've already expressed that so boldly. You are such a light!
I went to the LSU gymnastics camp when I was younger and you were there! You were an inspiration to me then and still an inspiration to me now. God Bless!
You are so strong girl. You can do this. Everything happens for a reason and hopefully you will figure out in time why this path was given to you. Your positive outlook is inspirational. Feel better.
This breaks my heart!! I love you so much and I hope this makes you so so much stronger. God will lead you through this crazy journey and you'll be back at it in no time. I'm praying for you every second. Love you so so much!💕💕💜💜
sending nothing but well wishes your way! i know what having a major gymnastics injury taking away your season is like and it's all up to you wether you get back to it or not. hope you have a great recovery and keep the positive attitude!!!!
I just ruptured both my Achilles Tendons. I was about to do a RO BHS BT and after my BHS I heard a pop! I finished my tuck but landed on my hands and feet. This happened Fri. I had surgery yesterday! How are you doing now?
So much love to you McKenna. I know what you're going through is not easy and I'm sure you're disappointed but the attitude you have about this is going to help you get through it. God will never give us more than we can handle. Whichever path He is taking you down He will be right there walking it with you and guiding you through it. You are in my thoughts and prayers. ❤️
Breaks my heart that this happened to you, but your positivity and perseverance is so inspiring! Praying for strong recovery and can't wait to watch you next season!!
Your faith driven outlook is so inspiring! It’s a reminder to me that we can not change what has happened but we can change our reaction to it. Sending you strength on the tough days and prayers throughout your journey. 💜💛
I just went through something so similar to you. I'm a weight lifter and in my schools marching band. In may I snapped my ACL in half and ripped my meniscus. I had surgery the end of June. I haven't been able to lift besides simple upper body and I didn't get to march this season. It sucked at games and Competitions. And it's gonna suck for you too not gonna sugar coat it. But you can do it. Just have to try to keep a positive attitude and remember that this isnt your last chance in life to do what you love and when you take your time and fully recover you'll be able to turn around and go back out there. I'm 5 months post op and still got a long road ahead. But it can be done. Best of wishes.
I know how you feel after surgery. About 7 weeks I had Achilles tendon lengthening surgery. I was really out of it when I got home after surgery. I am know in a walking boot.
Your attitude is amazing!!! There is no doubt your new role on this team will help them soar to the top!!! You are where you are meant to be and LSU Gymnastics is so lucky to have you!!! STAY STRONG You got this!!!
Great attitude McKenna. The thing about these type of set backs is you begin to see your daily world from a different perspective, and from that you grow and discover qualities about yourself that you never knew you had. You may not be saluting the judge and putting up a 9.9+ for your team but I know you will have a huge impact on their success this season. From of all of us in Region 5, we hope you have a speedy recovery and back stronger then ever in 2019 👍 Geaux Tigers!
Region 5 Gymnastics Insider wow thank you so much!!! Yes! That’s what I’m looking forward to; the life lessons and things I will learn about myself throughout this process! Thank you for the kind words and all the support! Xoxo
Your grace and positivity about this situation is honestly so admirable and I hope you know how incredible you are! Keep your head high and know God and all of us are with you all the way! Also I cracked up when your dad said “who is that” to the vlog😂💓
Tore my acl and meniscus before football season started i only played in five games then got my surgery. I might miss track season but it is what it is I’ll be back soon
Gregory Pearce, sorry to hear that. I had a friend who broke his ankle at the first football game and had to get surgery. I run track and I would hate to have to miss the season. how are you doing now?
I think you're going to continue to be the heart of your team. With that spirit and dedication, we'll see your amazing skills on 2019 again for your senior year, or can be your red shirt junior? 😉 Keep positive thoughts. Xo
god bless. once a tiger always a tiger. geaux tigers. glad your parents were there to help support you. we will miss you on the mat this year but you still have 2 more years. love tiger fans
