Washington Spirit midfielder Croix Bethune is gradually regaining form after eight months out due to a meniscus tear sustained during a first pitch at a MLB game. Despite feeling approximately 90-95% fit, she acknowledges not being at full performance yet. Bethune reflected on her previous experience with injuries to stay focused and optimistic as she returns to the field. Last season, she made a significant impact as one of the NWSL's standout rookies, tying a league assists record and earning multiple accolades before her injury sidelined her.
"I do feel like I am about 90%, I feel like that gave me a little more time to get stronger for my knee and just make sure I am overall 100% so I feel about 90, 95% at this time."
"Eight months is a long time. So I am just excited and staying prepared for every time I have the chance to go out there."
