When I was a junior I had a knee operation that was going to put me out of competition for over a year, and a few months after the operation I was struggling with my emotions.  This injury had devastated me to the point where it was affecting my everyday life… Dr. Lattimore was able to show me many different ways to help cope with the physical and emotional pain that I was going through, as well as set goals for my future that would help me on and off the field… Unfortunately, shortly after I returned to playing, I re-tore my knee and needed another operation. 

 

I can honestly say that if it was not for my meetings with Dr. Lattimore I do not know if I would have been able to fight through all of my injuries and get back on the field.  I specifically remember telling Dr. Lattimore that if I ever had to go through this recovery process again I would quit baseball.  She encouraged me to stick with it and trust the process... I continued to meet with her, discuss goals and ways to mentally improve my game, and sure enough I returned to play just in time for the start of season.
