Meet Olivia and her mum Meagan 👋
Unfortunately Olivia sustained a concussion while playing for the Emerging Matildas back in July while competing for the ball and caught an elbow on the side of her head 🤕
She was feeling dizzy, fatigued and some visual disturbances. She wasn’t able to get back to school or return to training 😔
Thankfully, she came in soon post injury, and with the right graduated approach she has since been able to return to school, training, and playing the finals with her team. The best thing was actually seeing her true personally come back 🙌
When it comes to concussion, symptoms only tell you part of the story. Numbers don’t lie. She had followed the rehab program diligently and passed all the relevant physical tests to prove that she had fully recovered 💪
The journey isn’t always straight or quick but you CAN completely recover from a concussion if it is managed properly. Don’t hesitate to report it ✅
We look forward to watching Olivia and how her career progresses🔥
