Hi I am Lily.
I recovered from a devastating fracture while playing volleyball.
During my recovery I recognized the need for young athletes to share their stories. I hope this site allows you to draw inspiration from others, and I hope that you will share your story by using the submission to motivate others.
Success Story
“During my junior year of high school, I suffered a severe ankle fracture during a basketball game. At first, I thought my season — and maybe my future in the sport — was over. But with months of physical therapy, the support of my coaches and family, and a lot of determination, I made it back on the court stronger than before. The experience taught me patience, mental toughness, and how to truly appreciate every moment I get to play. If you’re in the middle of recovery, remember — your comeback can be even greater than your setback.”
