I don't follow most of the social media stuff, has she updated anything on Insta/FB? Both tib and fib broken and some plates and screws in there and she is on the wrong side of 30 to boot, and with the field getting increasingly more competitive every year, I have to wonder if it might be a wrap in terms of high level 980 + golf. I guess we'll see.
Yeah, sounds like she's rethinking her relationship to the game. When she returns perhaps it's only in a part-time fashion ala Nate Sexton:
"In my last few posts, I've been talking about how I wish I was at said course or tournament. But after actually sitting in silence, and allowing myself time to think and reflect, I have realized that I am glad to be home. It has been so nice to be here with Alyssa (and our and animals) while we get prepared for our upcoming wedding. Thinking about trying to do all of this while on the road and giving the tour my 100%. I don't think either would've gotten my full attention. It's funny to wish you were at two places at once. It's a common human thing experiencing FOMO, but when I really think about it, I am happy I am exactly where I am. As Kristin told me when I was leaving Norway after breaking my leg, "maybe this was your sign that you needed to slow down a little bit." At the time Alyssa had been telling me similar things, and naturally, I thought it why would I need to slow down? I loved the life I was living. I enjoyed the fast ever-changing scenery. But was it good for me, was it healthy, was I truly fulfilled? Not saying any of these answers are no, but there are just questions that I never took the time to ask myself. How do I stay on the tour and move slow enough to reflect and process? If I don't play every event, how will I stay relevant and keep my name in the conversation? How will I stay useful to my sponsors?
Was me breaking my ankle a sign from the universe that I needed to step away for a while to regain purpose, goals, motivation, confidence, and self worth? And how in the world do you actually receive answers from these questions to yourself? There's no voice that answers back.
Anyways, lots of thoughts running around my head, most of which revolving around Disc Golf. I am glad I'm here, yet I also wish I was there. What a funny life where you truly never know what is in store for you. I just keep telling myself to enjoy everyday and be proud of the progress on my healing both physically and mentally."
