Special Parent Series: Liz & Mya’s ACL Journey
In this powerful episode, Liz—the mother of Mya, who has endured her third ACL tear in just over five years—opens up about the challenges and lessons from their journey. She shares what signs in her daughter motivated them to seek extra support, the concerns she had after completing PT, and the impact repeated injuries have had on Mya’s mental health.
What do you do when your child suffers not one… not two… but three ACL tears in just over five years? In this emotional episode, Liz—the mother of Mya—shares her raw and honest story about navigating the ups and downs of repeated injury, recovery, and resilience.
She opens up about the little things she noticed in her daughter that made her seek more help, the fears and concerns she had after PT ended, and how these injuries have impacted Mya’s confidence, identity, and mental health. Liz’s story is one every parent of an athlete needs to hear—because it shines a light on the side of ACL injuries we don’t always talk about: the emotional toll on both the athlete and the family.
Join Liz in this heartfelt discussion with Dr. Mike St. George and Coach Hos as they dive into the realities of supporting a child through setbacks, the importance of asking deeper questions, and the hope that comes from never giving up.
