Persevere Through The Pain
Yes, that’s correct. This champ did not let her stress fracture hold her back. Her right leg suffered this fracture due to a heel injury. Despite this, Jordyn said, “Once I got out on the floor, adrenaline took over and I didn’t really feel it that much…I know that eventually affected my performance. In the end, I have no regrets. I know injuries come with the sport and you have to deal with it and I’m glad I fought through and finished out to the end.”

Coping With Grief
This Dutch Olympic gold medal winner from 2008 is a world famous field hockey champ. She even competed in the Women’s Hockey World Cup back in 2006 and her Dutch squad became the World Champions there! Tragically, her father passed away from cancer just one week after the European Championship win in Ireland. Somehow, she mustered on and continued playing once the following season began. What strength and courage!
