Soccer Side Quests Ep. 4 ⚽️ The reason I wanted to make this episode is because I feel like from the outside it always looks like everything is going great, when that’s just not the full reality. The past two weeks I haven’t really been able to play soccer because of injury, and there was a point where I was in too much pain just to walk. The clips in this episode are from my ACL recovery last year, but they still feel really relevant to where I’m at mentally right now. Going through that whole process taught me how much of this journey is about patience and trusting your body, even when the timeline doesn’t make sense. I didn’t want this series to only show the highlights. I wanted it to show the cycles too — the setbacks, the slow periods, the parts where you’re forced to rebuild instead of progress. This episode is for the moments that don’t look impressive but still shape everything. #soccer #soccersidequests #losangeles #explore #fifaworldcup
