According to the Journal of Arthroscopic and Related Surgery, "Half of the patients that didn’t return to their sport was due to fear of getting re-injured. This brings us back to the aforementioned, mind over matter mentality that seems to have a direct correlation with ACL recovery after surgery."
I am hoping I am wrong and Joe follows the success of Alex Smith.
Thanks for posting the article, it’s good insight onto the mental aspect behind recovery. I do wonder how that changes at the professional level, most of these guys have overcome mountains of adversity to get here.
Either way, valid concerns and like you hoping Joe defeats any fears he has quickly.
