Get well soon Christyn!!

 

[Magy Cannon]

Very sorry to read this. Feel so bad for Christyn. Get well soon.

 

[Charliebball]

yikes!!.........the injury jinx continues even after the players graduate.......

Very unfortunate, I had post about this last night but it was deleted. This really makes you question the switch in S+C coach we made recently.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Damn!!!! I'm heartbroken for Christyn!

 

[Beemer]

Well that sucks.

Best wishes to Chrystin for a complete recovery.

Ridiculous statement.

Sorry for Christyn.

 

[Kaizen]

Oh no. Best wish to recovery soon.

 

[GoUconn7961]

Just saw multiple tweets about this. How terrible.

Wishing her a speedy, safe recovery.

Get well soon Christyn!!

So sad, and so ironic considering she played four seasons with the Huskies virtually injury-free (save for a bout with Covid). Good luck with your recuperation, Christyn.

Sorry for Christyn.

Not a ridiculous statement, maybe nothing to do with it, but there sure have been a lot of injuries since she’s arrived. I would guess they’ve been unrelated, but you never know.

 

[EricLA]

So sorry for her. I'm sure she is incredibly bummed. I know all her fans are. Poor kid.

Get well soon and work hard on your rehab! Look forward to seeing you healthy!!

 

[mrmojack]

Wish the best for Christyn. When will all the injuries stop?

 

[CL82]

So, as a second round choice was Christyn’s contract guaranteed?

 

[eebmg]

Damn. This was a good window for her. Seems the Mystics have more than their share of severe injuries.

 

[GoChips20]

Oh no! I’m so sorry to hear this.

Christyn is going to be a good pro.

 

[CTGirl15]

So sorry to hear this. Wishing her a speedy recovery and best of luck in the pros.

Is it fair to put it all on the trainer though? If my memory serves correct, some were issues that occurred prior to the season (e.g. Azzi's knee after U19 tourney). Others were things outside of anyone's control (e.g. Caroline's lingering issue after contact to the head).

How many actual injuries can be traced to the trainer? I find it difficult to make a direct connection to this.

Obviously the S&C coach needs to be putting the team through head toughening conditioning.

I didn’t think so. As if the injury wasn’t bad enough…

Trainer or Strength and Conditioning Coach? In either case, while I agree that I don't see any reason to "insist" there is a connection, it is probably warranted for the appropriate folks at UConn to give the idea a "glance". To me, that's just a form of due dilligence.

I really wish her the best. I think she will most likely be able to get a training camp invite next year, I'm not sure if Washington retains first dibs, but they are absolutely unlikely to retain her on roster as they might if she was a vet.

I don’t think any contract is guaranteed

You realize she was here before? From 1995 to 2005, with 8 NCs (5 wbb, 2 mbb, 1 msoccer) Followed by 2 very high profile B12 mens teams at Kansas and Texas.
