For many athletes, it's their worst nightmare: getting an injury that could end their season — or even their career. In this episode of Sports in America, we sit down with two star athletes who've competed through painful moments. Robert Griffin III, or RGIII, had one of the most promising rookie campaigns in NFL history — but got injured soon after he made his debut. And in an attempt to lead the Washington Mystics to victory, two-time WNBA MVP Elena Delle Donne played through three herniated discs, a broken nose, and a knee injury.What's the line between a heroic performance in the game, and the risk of permanent damage to an athlete's body? And in the end, who's responsible for protecting a player from themselves?Show Notes Outta Pocket with RGIII Podcast  Robert Griffin Dominates the Cowboys on Thanksgiving Day | NFL Highlights Mike Shanahan: James Andrews cleared Griffin to play, but doctor disagrees | USA Today The Best Of Elena Delle Donne (WNBA Finals 2019) | WNBA Family comes first for Delle Donne, even during WNBA championship run | ESPN Elena Delle Donne listens to body, announces retirement | ESPN

UCONN Wins the NCAA Championship, Final thoughts going into the draft & Elena Delle Donne more Brought to you By: The Sonar Network https://thesonarnetwork.com/

Khristina is fresh off a historic Final Four weekend in Tampa, and this week, she’s joined by sports writer, podcast producer, and Women’s Hoop Show host Jordan Robinson for a jam-packed episode that covers everything from championship breakdowns to game-changing headlines in women’s basketball. Jordan shares her personal journey in the game, how she became a storyteller for women’s sports, and details her upcoming book that explores the rich (and often overlooked) history of women’s basketball—from the 1800s to today. The two dive into the legacy of the WBL, the lack of proper archives in women’s sports, and why preserving these stories is essential. They also break down UConn’s dominant championship win, how South Carolina fell short, and what’s next for both programs. Plus, they react to Olivia Miles' surprise transfer to TCU, Elena Delle Donne’s retirement, the Hall of Fame class of 2024, and the last-minute addition of Candace Parker’s jersey retirement game to national TV. Plus, with the WNBA Draft just days away, Khristina and Jordan discuss top prospects, team needs, international sleepers, and why players should prioritize fit and opportunity over flash.
