Stop the ACL Epidemic for Women Athletes

In this episode, Jacki and Lauren dive into ACL injuries in women’s sports, with a focus on the WNBA and Seattle Storm. They explore the under-discussed link between menstrual cycles and injury risks, as raised by stars like Sue Bird and Megan Rapinoe. The show also debuts a new segment, The Drip, covering the latest in women’s sports news.

The episode tackles athlete retirement, career transitions, and the need for programs like an "MBA for athletes." The hosts highlight how companies like ESPN and tech firms can benefit from hiring former athletes for leadership roles.

They also address the emotional toll of being waived from teams, the resilience it takes to bounce back, and how community, mentorship, and social media offer crucial support. The episode wraps with a celebration of Click Clack’s launch party, spotlighting style, success, and sisterhood in sports.
