[QUOTE="Jeffers_10, post: 1211011, member: 3538"] Yep...that's correct. My doc told me that ACL tears make you at least 25% more suceptible to tear the same one again OR the other one due to over compensation. I have had three ACL tears myself, twice in left and one in the right. Honestly, after the second tear, it's the mental aspect you have to deal with more than anything. Therapy is hard, but at the same time is easier for high level athletes like these guys. You notice he started mentioning that he wasn't sure if football was in his future or not...the mental aspect is already doing a number on the kid. I hope he is surrounded by a good support group. He and Mikey both. They're going to need it. [/QUOTE]
