Ellie Caffee Case Study

Decent Essays
Ellie Caffee was chosen as a member of the 2018 All Resilient Team by Tom Leach. This group “celebrates high school male and female student-athletes who overcome adversity on their path to success. It might be an injury, a disability, a difficult family or health circumstance--something that puts an obstacle in their path that might derail someone who is less resilient.” While playing travel softball last July, Ellie broke her fibula sliding in to second base. Her immediate thoughts at the hospital were concern for her senior season of basketball. Through her perseverance and many days of tough physical therapy, she was ready to start the season. She did not miss a game and led her team back to a 4th region appearance at Diddle Arena this year.
