Injuries
In 2016, Hope Solo underwent an intense shoulder replacement surgery that she said was “long overdue”. It’s almost unbelievable to think that a goalkeeper on her level wasn’t functioning at her best due to a shoulder injury. She commented on Instagram, “For the first time in years, I can raise my right arm above my head, I’m filled with excitement knowing how life-changing this is and I look forward to coming back healthier and stronger than ever.”
Being The Best
Hope Solo, as we know, is considered the best female goalkeeper in the world. She broke a U.S. record with 72 shutouts by surpassing the record held by American Brianna Scurry.
