Perhaps the biggest obstacle Tatum will have to overcome is the lack of trust for his body. He was simply diving for a loose ball when he crumpled to the floor. Wilkins said the process of regaining faith in yourself is the biggest hurdle in rehabilitation. “The one doubt that’s in your mind is if I turn the wrong way or come down wrong, will this thing go on me again?” Wilkins said. “I just had to get the [fear] out of my head. That’s what you have to do. And I had my best all around season after that [in 1992-93].” Wilkins said he was in a walking boot for 10 weeks before he began his rehabilitation and spent that time working on his upper body. He returned stronger and eventually gained the confidence in his body through rehabilitation.
