Golden Falcon Junior Nicole Jenal Featured in NJ Star Ledger |
|
Felician University junior Nicole Jenal spent most of her teenage years confined to a back brace for 18 hours a day. Sports served as a reprieve from the pain. They filled her afternoons with freedom from the large chunk of plastic that restricted her mobility and often left sores or welts — devices she even had to wear in her sleep.
Diagnosed with scoliosis (an abnormal, lateral curvature of the spine) at the age of 13, Jenal, a defender for the Golden Knights women’s soccer and an assistant team captain, was concerned her condition might impact her dreams of competing at the collegiate level. Read the rest of her story here.
