Saskia tells ssc-vb.de on her forgettable injury and her road to recovery.
“It was really difficult at the beginning, I couldn’t think about anything else than the injury… But, I am back in positive mood.
I knew it immediately it was bad. While I was lying on the floor with severe pain, I just couldn’t move my leg. It was clear for me in that moment that season is over. It was really difficult at the beginning, I couldn’t think about anything else than the injury… It was a pure stress, because I have never experience this kind of setback as a player.
But, I am back in positive mood. I’m making progress with his knee. That’s the important thing. I can already move without crutches have a good feeling about the healing process.I am almost for the whole day on therapies. I thought that at least I will be able to have more free time, but that is not the case.”
Her support system…
“Those are my parents, sister and friends. They are always there for me. We are joking that now I am finally at home for some time, but it really could have happened in different circumstances.”
On teammates from SC Schweriner…
“Someone always calls. We are a real WhatsApp group. And I am happy that the team found its way and plays good without me.”

OH NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Such a very, very sad news knowing that the season just started.
German muse and opposite hitter Saskia Hippe is seriously injured and will undergo a series of medical tests tomorrow. Initial diagnosis is that the 22 year old has torn her ACL. Recovery will take about 9 months or longer.
If this is the nature of her injury, then the 2013/2014 season is pretty much over for the 2013 European Championship silver medalist.
In case you didn’t know, Saskia plays for German club team SC. Schwerin.
@Volleyw00d thank u!!!!
