Injuries are sadly an inevitable part of an athlete’s life. However, sometimes they scar you for life. On her experience with injuries, and how she managed to cope with them, Lindsey revealed, “My physical therapist, Lindsay Winninger, would sometimes have to drag me out of bed. I just didn’t want to get up. I thought it was pointless because I kept repeatedly getting injured. After a certain amount of time, it’s hard to see if there’s any light at the end of the tunnel.”

Since Lindsey has always been a fighter, she dealt with her injuries like a true champion. On her recovery, she further added, “I dealt with it by journaling and finding daily goals that helped me stay positive.
