I don't have much respect for her coaches for allowing her to continue. 

Wow sorry to hear about your accident, I feel your pain, I have been through the surgery twice, once on each side. Some orthos just offer to cast you and not do the surgery, but the surgery is way better than casting since it has a higher chance of successfully getting the tendon healed. 

Work hard in PT, getting that calf muscle back is really hard after the tendon snaps, it rolls that sucker right up, then you dont use the muscle for multiple weeks on end.  I wont lie to you, the PT sucks and you are scared to put weight on that tendon when they clear you to start up PT, but you got to push through mentally and physically, it is worth the effort.  Good luck with your recovery!
