Alexia Putellas, the Spanish footballer and Barcelona star, demonstrated remarkable resilience during her recovery from an ACL injury sustained before the 2022 European Championships. Her goal was to return at her peak for the 2023 World Cup, fueling her motivation throughout her rehabilitation. Despite challenges and self-doubt, Putellas focused on daily improvements, leading to her pivotal role in Spain's World Cup success. Winning remains a powerful and addictive motivation for her, reflecting her passion for the sport and commitment to excellence.
I was clear I wanted to be back for the World Cup at my best level, maybe even better. While recuperating I wasn't thinking about anything else other than that.
It's all about putting another droplet in the glass every day, so the moment when you're back gets that little bit closer.
In the end, there's something addictive in winning for me. I love my job. I love being able to play this sport.
Having a strong mentality to go again for another tournament is what it takes to be at the top of my game.
