129: Gettin' Real with Jaclyn Smolik

A Battle Within

Here we go with Episode 129, Terry, the inspiration for the program will join us shortly along with today's guest Jaclyn Smolik

You spend your entire life focused and in love with the game of soccer. You go on to play college ball, become captain of the team and the teams leading goal scorer. Then boom it's taken away with one simple blow to your head.

Jaclyn tells us today what it has been like for her to go through this experience. At first she doesn't disclose her injury and it catches up to her. Partly because of the pressure athletes can feel. Now she is after making sure other athletes are aware that they must report.

Fortunately Jaclyn has a very good support system and is very aware of herself and what is needed in her healing so she is making progress. Like many in this world she has had to search for the right doctors and treatment to make headway.

In a few weeks she is off to Physical Therapy school with the hopes of helping others coping with injuries like this.

One thing this injury taught her was that she was racing through life and has learned to slow down since.
