‘”It was difficult at first, but through my faith I looked at it as another obstacle that I had to go through,” said Hardy. “At first I was asking questions like, ‘Why this?’ I never put myself in that type of position because I’ve never had that type of injury before. The trainers initially didn’t want to tell me what happened, but later the doctors told me it was my ACL. But by then I had enough time to sit and pray and think about what I would have to go through. So by the time the doctor came back and talked to me, I was fine.”‘
