After tearing his ACL and meniscus, Curtis Tatum was told he’d never play basketball again.

 The problem is Curtis loves playing basketball. 

“Curtis is basketball,” Jeralin, Curtis’ girlfriend, says. “He never stopped picking up that ball.”

“Curtis is basketball,” Jeralin, Curtis’ girlfriend, says. “He never stopped picking up that ball.” 

 After sustaining these injuries on the court, Curtis wasn’t able to play ball, let alone bend or straighten his leg. 

“I watched him go from completely non-weight bearing, through surgery and through PT,” she says. “And I’ve watched him over these past few months gain range of motion, and balance, reaching for higher jumps.” 

Jeralin has noticed something even more important than these physical improvements: “The confidence in his own physical ability and trust in his body to push himself in a healthy way to obtain his athleticism.”
