When John Grant Jr. announced his retirement from Major League Lacrosse in April of 2017, he sounded like a guy resigned to his fate.
"Yeah, I went to every game, every practice. It was kind of the family business," John says of his childhood. An infection had spread through his body and attacked his left ACL, which had been replaced five years earlier. His knee was the size of a basketball. He’d gone septic. "Once she was able to catch — she had that light-bulb moment in the backyard where she could catch — and I said, 'You know what? Maybe we can get you playing again,'"John says.
Trouble was, John wasn’t making those goals any more. He was stuck on the sidelines, coaching. And Gabby ... didn’t like it.
