Hey man going through the same right now.

c duleraux

My bestie Greg FB is simping for you

sadly this was the game that changed the outcome of hector's career. still a good player but pre-injury had scary pace to burn

Thanks man going through this right now

Blud had already got his bri-ish accent going back then

Hector no only loves football, he loves Humanity. This is a real man, who speaks out on social and environmental issues. He uses his ego to advance important issues. Someone like Hector will one day win the Ballon d'Or 'Green' prize for the most Humanitarian football player.🙏🏽👍🏽

Very insightful and beautifully documented. I’m about to have ACL reconstruction surgery soon and I didn’t really know what to expect… thank you for these videos, and for keeping it real, it’s helping me loads 🙏🏾

who else is tryna get hector's spotify playlist. those tunes are hard. brent and ella mai? run me that playlist😂

hector come to beşiktaş

hector come to beşiktaş

This gave me strength in my acl journey, thanks mate for inspiring on and off the pitch love ya.

Exactly my state right now post two weeks after meniscus repair surgery, I have my first physiotherapy session tomorrow, is it going to hurt and I hope there are no risks involved?

Wished he'd concentrated on the expression of his football instead of expression of sexuality

Damn in the US you get knocked out before they even start the surgery, crazy how things are different in Europe. I remember getting my wisdom teeth taken out and I could hear all the crunches but if I had done it in the US, I would have had been under.

increible con todo ese apoyo ni yo tuviese es temor , imaginate la cantidad de gente que padece este mismo problema hasta peor , y no tienen como operarse ni quien los ayude :(, tiene que ser un suplicio, se agradecido con Dios de tener esa suerte de poder tener todo . y ese apoyo

5 weeks after my left knee mcl surgery and found this series, emotional and inspirational! Top guy hector!

Ojala despertarme amb tu

3 days out from surgery my man thanks for this inspirational piece🙌

I think every footballer must make these kind of videos! Then people will realize before criticizing them after injury. Me myself having ACL surgery next week can feel every inch of this video! I have cried occasionally not because of fear of surgery. But because of a feeling of relativity

As a hardcore football lover and currently undergoing prehab for ACL surgery next week. I am feeling this so badly❤ I am not a professional footballer but I have done everything to play football! Be it buying boots from college pocketmoney and spending a month on nearly no food. Or anything. And now suffered ACL . I am not a pro athlete with world class physio facilities so I am so depressed peobably for not being able to return to field. Or maybe yes but now I am 30, by recovery, I will be 31 and who knows. I am so depressed right now. And feel the pain and agony of every athlete who would have gone through ligament repairs. Not because of the surgery, but because of the love of that sport! I feel you hector, I feel you all ❤❤❤ For the love of sport, for the love of football! ❤ Lets keep this sport alive till the humanity is there on earth! ❤ And my wishes for anyone who is going through this/any kind of injury/surgery!

I just found this series. I tore my ACL 2 months ago, still waiting to get surgery. I didn’t realize that I tore it until a couple weeks ago when the mri results came through. Excited to see Hector’s recovery and journey

I tore my acl on my birthday of all days, I can’t wait to be on the other side of the surgery. These videos are super helpful to see what it feels like ke to be under while they’re drilling in your knee. (The footage of them putting the injection in your spine scares the crap outta me 😂 😵‍💫).

Bro really got carried off in a stretcher

❤

Thanks for sharing this, had my first acl surgery 2014 and unluckily just had my other legs knee ACL reconstructed two weeks ago. If you are here because you've got an injury, from someone that has gone through it before, stay positive and attack the rehab in a can do way! It's a long road back but it does go quickly when you look back at it a couple of years later. The body has a funny way of forgetting things. If you are not a professional sports player like Hector, take your time in getting back to sport, maybe 12 months and just remember that the physio is the most important part to derisking reinjury. Lets go! 👍🔥

Hey there Hec, how’s it going man? I hope you’re doing well.. and I also hope you don’t think of me as soft or a cry baby but Im typing this comment as tears fall down my face from crying (not from fear or pain but out of mere frustration). I am a semi pro/amateur footballer and a club/ high school coach for local youth teams in my city and I underwent acl reconstructive surgery about 12 hours ago. Now before my surgery I felt like everything seemed fine and I knew everything was going to be okay. Just like you I tried to keep a positive mental attitude when my injury occurred, already knowing that I more than likely had torn my acl while suffering a similar injury during a game. As time progressed and I did some pre-operation rehab with my physical therapist for a few weeks, I began to feel better. I felt I had reached a peak in my motivation to put forth my best effort, to work hard and to come back stronger than ever. Something I wanted to do for myself mainly but also to be an example to the youth boys and girls that I coach. They motivate me more than you can imagine to work hard and get better. I want to be an inspiration to them and show them that even when you get tested in life and may not see the end of it, there’s always sunshine after the storm. However now that I’m resting/recovering at home, I somehow came across your documentary while being unable to sleep and this is the first episode that I watch. Everything is starting to hit me all over again.. I know that with time I will get healthier and return to my normal self if not stronger.. but its been a tough couple of hours and my mind doesn’t seem to catch a break. Not being able to do much on my own for myself right now is very hard on me mentally. I feel like I’m useless and a burden to those who surround me. At times I also question how good of a comeback I will be able to make or how of a normal state will my knee/leg be able to return to. But what really hurts me the most is not being able to be on the pitch at the moment. 💔 Whether its to coach my youth players/teams, to train, to play an actual game or simply to goof around with the lads. It’s an emotional pain I wish no other footballer has to ever experience. I don’t even know why I’m typing this anymore or if you will even get the chance to see it. But as a lover for the beautiful game, something I think we both share in our heart. I’m reaching out now for some advice/comfort from you, a fellow footballer who has also gone through what I am currently experiencing. I’m sure for you it must have been a lot harder as this was your occupation in life. What were some of the things you were able to do to stay positive/happy on the inside even when things would get hard/frustrating?? I hope this comment makes it all the way to you and that you get the chance to reply. I would also say that I hope to one day get to see you in person but I think that’s more of a wish. A wish that I hope comes true. It would be an amazing and very cheerful experience to meet you in person. You know how every footballer has an idol because of how good of a player they once were? Well I think you have now become my idol and not simply because of your skill, but because of your character, your attitude and your strength! ❤️💪🏽 I believe you are someone I can look up to and draw inspiration from. So thank you for being my idol. I wish you nothing but the best! I wish you happiness and the upmost success in your journey of what we call life! Take care Hec! And keep on crushing it! 👊🏽❤️ Sincerely, A fan of yours - Andrew O

Just tore my ACL playing football and your experiences are really helping me prepare to shape who I am going to be post playing. Thank you Hector!

Rob before he got plugs

Gracias por venir al betis eres mi ídolo y eres un crack guapo

Viva el betis

Rehab is key. I wasn't able to complete mine after surgery on my arm and it still hurts from certain angles 20 years later..

Lying on the bed 2 weeks post op, just got my stitches removed this morning and it's amazing...doctor said that I can now walk with both feet but with the help of crutches...

HeccyB biggest king !!

you should write a book about this

What graft did they use? Pattela or hamstring?
