“I tore my ACL, and it was rough because everything was going super well. Suddenly, everything just stops right there. It was hard to cope with because I'd never had that before. I didn’t know how to deal with it. But at the same time, everything that I'd done to come to that point, I just couldn’t give up. I came out of it stronger and as a better person. Stronger mentally and physically. I think that I have that mental edge that not many players have. Sometimes you get frustrated that you aren’t playing, but now I see that I’m lucky to be here after everything I've been through." - @florian_valot on dealing with 2 ACL injuries and returning to play for the RBNY. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 📸: @pdbonilla ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #newyorkredbulls #newyorkphotographer #newyorkphotography #nyredbulls #mlsphoto #mls #ussoccer #clubelevenmag
