“After a week of reflection and recovery the humbling fact still remains – you can’t control everything, especially in sport. A disappointing way to end the 2017/18 V League in the stands after a training accident, attempting and failing at trying to play in the semifinals. An MRI showed that I damaged the bottom of one of my tendons important to ankle stability. The doctor said this injury is common with an ankle dislocation, so I am fortunate it wasn’t a lot worse. Even so, this was the first injury I couldn’t play through and the most powerless I’ve felt watching the most important game of our season from the sidelines,” Edgar wrote.
“Words can’t describe how proud I am of my team for achieving 3rd place and how they performed last weekend and the fight they showed. The regular championship may be over and I have a month of no volleyball and just rehab ahead of me, but the fight to come back better and stronger for our opportunity is there. A big thank you to all the staff of JT Thunders, the fans and, of course, my teammates for an amazing and memorable season,” Australia national team player added.
