Alessia Russo says hamstring issue in 202021 season helped make her as a player

Speaking in a new episode of the UTD Podcast in which she starred on, Alessia discussed how the lengthy hamstring injury has made her appreciate the opportunities she gets in her career.

“It was really tough and looking back, I think that’s what makes moments now and the Euros so special because it makes me now never take a session or a game for granted because it actually happened in training as well,” she explained in the podcast, which you can now listen to in the United App.

“Now when I get to train and get to do a rondo or small-sided games, I just love it. I think as much as you never want to have to go through that, it’s made me the player and person I am today. I had to learn so much about myself. 

“Although I broke my leg in college, it was a really smooth recovery. It was a leg break, I know it sounds bad but once it’s healed, it’s healed. It’s not the case with muscles.”
