And then Raquel Kochhann nodded: Play on.That also seems to be her life motto. A deep desire to chase her dreams has seen Kochhann overcome breast cancer, surgery, and months of follow-up treatment to return to the highest level of rugby sevens and have a shot at her third Olympics.After more than 1\u00bd years on the sidelines, initially with an injured knee and then for her cancer recovery, Kochhann reappeared for Brazil in January at the world sevens series event in Perth. She helped Brazil reach the quarterfinals in Los Angeles, played in Hong Kong and in the series finale in Madrid.<\/p>\n<p>Now she\u2019s preparing for the Paris Games, where women\u2019s sevens kicks off July 28.The most difficult person to convince she\u2019d be ready in time for Paris was her doctor \u201cbecause of the complexity of the case,\u201d Kochhann says.\u201cHe always supported me, but he was apprehensive and careful,\u201d the 31-year-old Brazilian tells The Associated Press. \u201cTo this day, his heart is in his mouth whenever I take some kind of hit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Heavy hits are a regular occurrence in the condensed, fast-paced version of rugby known as sevens (because of the number of players on each team).<\/p>\n<p>Upper-body collisions are frequent when players are either carrying the ball or tackling, which can make doctors nervous.Not Kochhann. She believes she\u2019s done the work in the gym and in her recovery to prepare her body for anything the sport can throw at her. She also received medical clearance from the team.In a social media post in late 2023 announcing her return to play, Kochhann urged followers to \u201cplay every game like it\u2019s your last.\u201d\u201cThis phrase sounds clich\u00e9, but we don\u2019t know what tomorrow will bring, what if we don\u2019t have another opportunity?\u201d she posted. \u201cOur fate is unpredictable. An ACL injury in May 2022 turned out to be a lengthy breast cancer treatment. A lot of learning and personal growth.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rugby rootsA dedicated soccer player as a young athlete with ambitions of wearing the famous Brazil jersey, Kochhann first tried rugby at the age of 19. She was instantly converted.She debuted for Brazil in 2014, won a bronze medal at the Pan American Games the following year, and was there in 2016 in the host team when rugby sevens made its Olympic debut at Rio de Janeiro.Her mother couldn\u2019t attend the Olympic matches because she was dealing with breast cancer herself, but Kochhann reveled in the support from her sister, and thousands of new fans. The Tokyo Olympics were an altogether different experience as spectators were banned because of COVID-19 restrictions.But she was determined and good enough to earn another Olympic experience, even when, while rehabbing her knee injury, she underwent scans for a lump in her breast and discovered it was malignant.\u201cCancer wasn\u2019t a shock, given my family\u2019s medical history and genetics \u2014 and it could have happened at any moment in my life,\u201d Kochhann said in a matter-of-fact interview for the world sevens series. \u201cI went through a preventive bilateral mastectomy and moved to the oncology department. I had to stop my career and went through chemotherapy to prevent the further spread of cancer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>All the while, health experts were telling her to stay physically active.\u201cEven if the therapy would bring me down physically,\u201d she says, \u201cI kept believing I could beat this &#8230; and I did.\u201dWhatever transpires between now and late July, Kochhann wants her inspiring comeback to be a message \u201cthat everything in life always has a good side and a bad side.\u201d\u201cOur recovery and how we live life will depend on which side we choose to look at. I could be sad, upset about the injury and then the cancer, but that would use a lot of energy, and I chose to focus that energy on recovery. Always seeing an opportunity in every difficulty.\u201dOne of a kindThe easiest person to convince she could return to rugby was Brazil coach Will Broderick \u201cwho, like me, was eager to be able to train me and see me back on the field,\u201d Kochhann says.<\/p>\n<p>Broderick, who has been coaching the Brazil women\u2019s sevens team since just before the Tokyo Olympics, felt like he barely had the right to assess Kochhann\u2019s comeback.\u201cBecause it\u2019s just so far above what you could imagine a human being be able to do,\u201d Broderick says in a telephone interview with the AP. \u201cWe witnessed it firsthand \u2014 she trained hard through chemotherapy, through radiotherapy. She was at the training center every day.\u201cIf she wasn\u2019t training, she was at the training sessions, helping with the filming and coaching. I\u2019ve never seen anything like it in my life.\u201dBroderick always thought his playmaker would return but acknowledged there\u2019s always the lingering doubt.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s so many things that could go wrong but she is probably one of the most incredible people I\u2019ve ever met,\u201d he says. \u201cTo be honest, it\u2019s phenomenal. Incredible. Then she comes back to train and how can I tell her \u2026 she needs to push harder, work. Who am I to say that?\u201dBut Kochhann was willing to push harder. The tradeoff was Kochhann becoming an inspirational presence for other players.\u201cShe\u2019s matured all the way through and she doesn\u2019t let the little things bother her too much anymore, like refereeing decisions or little errors,\u201d Broderick says. \u201cShe\u2019s grown in that sense and how she handles the little setbacks because I guess that her perspective is completely different.\u201d___AP Olympics: https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/2024-paris-olympic-games<\/p>\n<p>  window.fbAsyncInit = function() {<br \/>\n      FB.init({<\/p>\n<p>              appId : &#8216;870613919693099&#8217;,<\/p>\n<p>          xfbml : true,<br \/>\n          version : &#8216;v2.9&#8217;<br \/>\n      });<br \/>\n  };<\/p>\n<p>  (function(d, s, id){<br \/>\n     var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];<br \/>\n     if (d.getElementById(id)) {return;}<br \/>\n     js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;<br \/>\n     js.src = &#8220;https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/sdk.js&#8221;;<br \/>\n     fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);<br \/>\n   }(document, &#8216;script&#8217;, &#8216;facebook-jssdk&#8217;));<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Summarize this content to 2000 words in 6 paragraphs in Arabic She heard her No. 10 being called, tapped hands with a teammate who was leaving the field, and ran into position for Brazil, a smile on her face.She made a quick sign of the cross, rubbed her hands and held them up with fingers<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":131094,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[57],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-131093","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-international"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/globetimeline.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/131093","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/globetimeline.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/globetimeline.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/globetimeline.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/globetimeline.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=131093"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/globetimeline.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/131093\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":131095,"href":"https:\/\/globetimeline.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/131093\/revisions\/131095"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/globetimeline.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/131094"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/globetimeline.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=131093"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/globetimeline.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=131093"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/globetimeline.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=131093"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
