Mikaela Shiffrin Faded heavily in the Killington MC race in November. He got a wound wound in his stomach, which was treated with surgery a couple of weeks after the accident.
Shiffrin returned to the slope in January. The anticipated return was anything but fun and rewarding, even though it felt good, he describes Players’ Tribunen in the article.
“Whatever the reason was, in my training bills everything felt somehow bad, quite the opposite I wanted,” Shiffr writes.
– It felt like my mind and body had been a strange break – and it was scary at all.
Shiffrin mentions that he was not really afraid of counting. Still, he suddenly stopped in the middle of training bills.
– On particularly bad days, I questioned my motivation or do I want to do this anymore. Internally, I could say to myself: I couldn’t care less, even though I would never race again.
Shiffrin writes in an article about PTSD, or post -traumatic stress disorder.
– Everyone knows what a bad cough is. But PTSD … it’s not like that. Everyone experiences it in a way. There are no two similar cases.
During the therapy phase, Shiffrin returned to the departure gate again and again.
– I reminded and proved to myself that in the vast majority of my training and racing invoices, nothing bad would happen. Almost always everything really ends well.
Shiffrin returned to the race in Courchevel, two months from his accident. During the spring, he won two MC races.
