Isabella Picard

ABOUT ISABELLA PICARD

Softball player who rose to fame after making a miraculous recovery from a spinal injury she sustained during a game in college. Her entire right side was paralyzed, but she's regained a good deal of motion through physical therapy.

She initially played soccer as a kid and teen, but switched to softball after getting diagnosed with compartment syndrome.

She underwent several surgeries to deal with her spinal injury as well as deal with lingering effects from her compartment syndrom, and she had to relearn how to walk after each one.

She has two sisters named Gianna and Ashley as well as a brother named Mike.

Football player Eric LeGrand suffered a similar spinal cord injury during a football game and he and Picard have become friends.
