Sam Mewis' Ankle Misery! #femalesportsheroes #uswnt #ncaawomensoccer #ankleinjury #femaleankleinjury

What makes a professional sports athlete stand out from amateurs? It is their prowess, their positive attitude, courage and winning determination. These professional players always give their best to try and win for the team. That winning mentality is always at the back of the player’s mind. It is this mindset which drives heroes forward. That is why when they get injured and cannot continue, that feeling of disappointment shows instantly. USA up and coming midfielder Samantha Lewis, was in tears when a nasty ankle injury forced her to retire in a recent international match. Not only did it hurt. She was bitterly disappointed she could not do more for her country!
