About Intenful

During my time as a Division I soccer player, I tore my ACL not once, but twice. Two of the biggest setbacks of my career. But also, two of the most defining experiences of my life.

I was fortunate to have not just one, but two successful recoveries. I came back strong both times, but what people don’t see is that I wasn’t constantly motivated through it all.

The hardest part was never just the physical rehab, it was the mental side of it. The doubt. The frustration. The days where I questioned if I’d ever run the same, make the same tackles, or chase my dream of playing pro soccer again. There were even moments where I wondered if I’d ever just run freely for fun without thinking about it.

That’s what I had to work on the most, my mindset. Showing up on the days I didn’t feel like it. Learning how to stay positive when progress felt slow. Reminding myself who I was, even when I didn’t feel like that person anymore.

And honestly, that mental work is what led to my physical success.

I didn’t want those experiences to define me in a negative way—so I turned them into something meaningful. This brand was built from those moments. Not just the comeback, but everything it takes to get there.

It’s for the days you’re in the middle of the hard days, the quiet days, the ones where you need a reminder to keep going. Because if you’re going through something like this, you’re not alone and you’re capable of more than you think
