Skateboarding Olympian Nyjah Huston has recently talked about how he fractured his anterior cruciate ligament sending forth impossible skateboarding maneuvers on his official YouTube channel.
In a new video of his primary sponsor Nike, Huston gave every detail on how he managed to keep a positive mindset throughout his injury.
His ACL is vital to get a prompt and accurate diagnosis to determine the severity of his injury and get proper treatment.
Proper training and exercise can help reduce the risk of ACL injury. Huston had to have a sports medicine physician, physical therapist, athletic trainer, or other specialists in sports medicine who could provide assessment, instruction, and feedback that helped him reduce risks.
"If you expected Nyjah Huston to be inactive after suffering the first major injury of his career, a torn ACL that has forced him off the board for months, then you don't know Nyjah," Nike wrote.
They added. "It took no less than a week after surgery for the superstar skateboarder to begin the work on getting back to doing what he loves — an arduous process made up of physical therapy sessions and strenuous workouts."
"This time off the board has asked Nyjah to practice patience while developing new routines and daily habits," they said. "But more than anything, it's forced the 27-year-old to consider the legacy he is leaving behind in a sport he has sacrificed literal blood, sweat, and tears for."
Nike's series called "What Are You Working On" uncovers the works in progress happening worldwide as athletes navigate journeys in and beyond sport.
Since suffering the first significant injury of his career, skateboarder Huston has worked tirelessly to come back stronger than ever and continue writing the chapters of his storied career.
