doctors/trainers at a local university. They usually are more then happy to help and at a minimum link you up with someone in their network of colleagues. Maybe the Club she plays for has a relationship with college? Specialists are great but you want to get even more specific with a specialist that sees sports injuries day in and day out. I ended up doing this for a soccer related knee injury I had and it worked out great. Still playing today in a for-fun adult league and loving every minute of it.

Two other suggestions if she bounces back: (1) whether it's soccer or another sport, do NOT let her go year round at a high level in the same sport. That's hard to do these days because that's what everybody does. Screw the masses. Kids (young and even teenagers) need a break both physically and mentally. Break it up AND make it fun. For instance, I'm coaching a sand soccer team for a few of my son's teammates this summer with an emphasis on being fun (actually playing down at a lower level). (2) Get her to do some other physical activity totally unrelated to soccer. Rock climbing, yoga, anything to mix up her physical activity so her non soccer related body parts/muscles develop. Kids are too specialized in one sport year round to develop overall fitness to prevent injury. I see the ramifications of this all the time unfortunately.

Also, soccer is a great sport and even if she can't play at the highest level, and assuming she recovers, encourage her to still play - even if it's at the advanced level (fewer practices typically with less wear and tear on the body). ODP is by and large over-rated. Not done consistently throughout the States and many coaches have suspect motives and goals other then teaching your kid how to play the game. If she recovers and wants to play at a high level, get on a good Club that does showcase tournaments. Colleges will still see her there if that's what she wants.

And if soccer isn't in the cards, there are plenty of other sports she can take up to stay active and engaged with her peers. Might mean slowly parting ways with one group of friends but that just means she will make new ones. It's all part of growing up in the end. Face adversity, overcome and adjust, move on.

One last thing: Don't feel you've done wrong. From what you describe above, you've done a hell of a job with your daughter and love her immensely. Keep up the good work and things will work out in the end.
