The ACL Isn't the Problem: What Youth Sports Is Getting Wrong About Female Athletes | Dr. Holly Silvers-GranelliACL injuries are reaching epidemic levels in youth sports, high school athletics, college competition, and professional sports. Female athletes are tearing ACLs at alarming rates despite better coaching, more strength training, advanced technology, and greater access to sports medicine than ever before.So why are these injuries continuing to rise?In this eye-opening episode of Crackin' Backs, we sit down with Dr. Holly Silvers-Granelli, one of the world's leading experts in ACL injury prevention. Her groundbreaking research has helped shape injury prevention programs used around the globe and recently gained national attention through her work featured in The New York Times.But this conversation isn't about repairing knees.It's about asking a bigger question:What if the ACL tear is simply the warning light on the dashboard?Dr. Silvers-Granelli explains why the real issues often begin long before the ligament fails—through movement patterns, neuromuscular control, youth sports specialization, recovery deficits, coaching practices, and athlete development.We explore:• Why ACL injuries continue to rise despite more training and sports performance programs • The hidden movement signatures that may predict injury months or years before it occurs • Why the hip, trunk, brain, and nervous system matter as much as the knee itself • The unintended consequences of year-round sports participation and early specialization • What parents, coaches, and athletes should be watching for right now • How force plates, AI, wearable technology, biomechanics, and video analysis are changing injury prevention • Whether we are approaching a future where ACL injuries can be predicted before they happen • The most important change Dr. Silvers-Granelli would make in youth sports tomorrowWhether you're a parent, coach, healthcare professional, athletic trainer, physical therapist, strength coach, or athlete, this episode provides practical insights that could help keep athletes healthy, performing, and on the field.Because the future of sports medicine may not be about treating injuries.It may be about preventing them altogether.About Dr. Holly Silvers-GranelliDr. Holly Silvers-Granelli, PhD, MPT, is an internationally recognized researcher, clinician, and educator specializing in ACL injury prevention, sports performance, biomechanics, and neuromuscular training.

How athletes are presented on our screens shapes the way we view them .. close ups show the pain and the joy .. while wider shots give us a sense of scale and spectacle. But some of the images we're shown are going to change because new guidelines released by the European Broadcasting Union are asking TV directors to change the way they present women's athletics. The basic ask: focus on the athlete not the most sexualised possible angle. That likely means fewer tight shots, less low angles, and more caution around slow motion replays. Former Olympic heptathlete turned sports reporter Sarah Cowley Ross joins us to discuss.

New research from the Centre of Expertise on Child Sexual Abuse suggests one in five girls and one in ten boys experience sexual abuse during childhood. Yet the organisation says only a fraction of those children are ever identified by professionals. We discuss the findings with the Centre's Deputy Director, Anna Glinski, and ask why so many children are still being missed.The European Broadcasting Union (EBU) has worked with female athletes to develop new guidelines that aim to avoid sexualising the action with unnecessary camera angles. UK Athletics President Denise Lewis and Danielle Sellwood, sports documentary maker, gives us their thoughts. AI ethicist Dr Eleanor Drage discusses her new book What If We Got AI Right? and why putting women at the centre of artificial intelligence could help create a fairer future.Tomorrow night Dalia Stasevska will open the BBC Proms at the Royal Albert Hall, the biggest night in classical music.

In this episode of The Athletes Compass Podcast, Dr. Julia Casadio explains how athletes can use heat training as a powerful performance tool, especially when preparing for hot and humid races. Drawing on her experience with Olympic athletes and her research in applied sport physiology, she explains why women often need longer heat adaptation windows than men, how “thermal memory” allows athletes to reacclimate quickly after an earlier heat block, and why heat should be treated as a meaningful training stress rather than an afterthought. The conversation also covers practical strategies such as sauna or hot-tub exposure, timing heat blocks before race day, managing training load, supporting youth athletes in hot conditions, and recognizing signs of heat illness.Key episode takeawaysFemale athletes often take longer to adapt to heat than male athletes, with women commonly needing closer to 10–14 days rather than 4–7 days.Heat training should not be added casually to a hard training week. It works best during easy-to-moderate training blocks.Heat is an extra physiological load, so sleep, fueling, hydration, and recovery matter even more during heat exposure.A true heat stimulus requires getting genuinely hot: elevated core temperature and heavy sweating are key signals.Living in a hot place does not automatically mean an athlete is heat-adapted. The body has to experience repeated, meaningful heat stress.Heat blocks can be periodized. Athletes can do a proper block several weeks before an event, then use shorter top-up exposures closer to race day.“Thermal memory” means the body can reacclimate faster after prior heat adaptation.Passive heat methods such as post-exercise sauna or hot-water immersion can help athletes who do not live in hot climates.High-intensity sessions are not ideal for heat loading; easy aerobic sessions are usually safer and more effective.Youth athletes need extra caution in the heat because their cooling systems are less developed and they may be less likely to speak up when something feels wrong.Warning signs of heat illness include dizziness, lightheadedness, cool clammy skin, sudden performance drop-off, fainting, and, in more serious cases, hot red skin.Her Strength - Dr. Julia CasadioPaul Warloski - Simple Endurance CoachingMarjaana Rakai | Nordic Performance Lab

As we celebrate the 250th anniversary of our nation's founding, the Supreme Court has handed down a series of decisions that have left many of us feeling both hopeful and concerned. Yesterday's ruling on birthright citizenship has sparked a heated debate, with some seeing it as a victory for the conservative movement and others as a setback for the rights of transgender athletes. Meanwhile, the Court's decision on transgender athletics has been hailed as a major win for women's sports, but also raises questions about the future of competition and equality. This episode of the podcast delves into the details of these decisions, featuring expert analysis from Carrie Severino of the Judicial Crisis Network and Jim Campbell of Alliance Defending Freedom. We also hear from State Representative Laurel Libby, who shares her personal perspective on the importance of protecting women's sports and the rights of female athletes. Additionally, we discuss the implications of these decisions on the broader cultural landscape, including the impact on our understanding of identity and the role of government in protecting individual rights.Become a Townhall VIP member with promo code "LARRY": https://townhall.com/subscribeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hello & Welcome To Today's Episode! Today's guest has a unique perspective as she's both a high performance athlete AND a pelvic physio who is passionate about keeping girls and women involved in sport.Clodagh McIntyre is a rising star in physiotherapy who is both an inter-county camogie player for Tipperary and a pelvic health physiotherapist. Clodagh discussed her journey from UCD graduate to working in private practice, her experiences with stress incontinence as an athlete, and the lack of pelvic health education in physio training programs. We explored how pelvic health issues affect female athletes, with statistics showing 7 out of 10 athletes leaving sport due to bladder leakage, and discussed the taboo nature of discussing these topics within sporting teams. We discussed the importance of education and support around pelvic health issues for female athletes, highlighting the lack of standardization in GAA and potentially LGFA, as well as emphasising the need to normalize conversations about these issues and prevent them from deterring athletes from participating in sports.Clodagh shared her upcoming trip to Kenya with Warriors for Humanity and Self-Help Africa, where she plans to plant trees and help communities, for which she is fundraising. Please see linked below to her fundraiser! https://www.idonate.ie/fundraiser/clodaghmcintyre Our shared passion is definitely showcasing the conversation and embedding pelvic health into female athlete wellbeing : there's SUCH a need for better education about pelvic health at undergraduate and postgraduate levels, as well as within sporting organizations, to support female athletes and prevent them from dropping out of sport due to pelvic health issues.Want to learn more about supporting the Female Athlete, and promoting pelvic and menstrual health?

The International Olympic Committee has released a new policy on the protection of the female (women's) category in Olympic sport, which calls for gene screening for all female athletes. We talk about what this entails, what it could mean for sports, and whether or not we, as two women, feel protected.  If you want to read the policy for yourself, you can find it here: https://stillmed.olympics.com/media/Documents/International-Olympic-Committee/EB/policy/policy-on-the-protection-of-the-female-category-english.pdf The UN's response is here: https://www.ohchr.org/en/press-releases/2026/04/un-expert-welcomes-international-olympic-committee-policy-protecting-female Here's the Time article we referenced: https://time.com/article/2026/04/03/how-the-olympic-ban-on-transgender-women-could-affect-all-women-athletes/ And geneticist Andrew Sinclair's thoughts on SRY gene screening: https://www.mcri.edu.au/news/insights-and-opinions/world-athletics-sry-gene-conversation   Also, LA 2028 has released its "look of the Games," which is called "LA in Full Bloom."

Why Do Female Athletes Feel Lost After Sports? With Tori Barker Where the game stops echoing.

Pelvic floor health is an often overlooked, but critically important aspect of female athlete health and performance. Despite increasing awareness, many athletes, coaches, and practitioners remain unaware of how common pelvic floor dysfunction is among female athletes and how significantly it can impact both performance and quality of life.In this episode of Clinically Pressed, Andrew Jagim sits down with Dr. Lisa VanWiel (University of Wisconsin–La Crosse) to discuss pelvic floor health in female athletes, with a particular focus on urinary incontinence, one of the most common symptoms of pelvic floor dysfunction. Research suggests that 60–70% of female athletes experience some degree of urinary incontinence, particularly in sports that involve running, jumping, and high-impact movements. Despite its high prevalence, many athletes are reluctant to discuss these issues or may assume it is simply a normal consequence of sport participation.Dr. VanWiel helps break down why pelvic floor health matters for athletes, how dysfunction can influence performance and injury risk, and what athletes and practitioners should be aware of when identifying potential issues.Topics discussed in this episode include:• The role of the pelvic floor in athletic performance and core stability• Why urinary incontinence is so prevalent in female athletes (60–70%)• Common warning signs and symptoms of pelvic floor dysfunction athletes and coaches should recognize• How pelvic floor dysfunction can impact performance, comfort, and confidence in sport• Practical strategies athletes can use to support pelvic floor health• The role of pelvic floor physical therapy and rehabilitation, and the high success rates seen with targeted interventionsImportantly, this conversation highlights that urinary leakage during sport is not normal and should not be ignored. With proper evaluation and treatment, particularly through specialized physical therapy, many athletes experience substantial improvements and can continue training and competing without limitations.Whether you're a strength coach, athletic trainer, sports medicine clinician, or athlete, this episode provides practical insight into an often under-discussed topic that has major implications for the health and performance of female athletes.#complicatedsimple #resultsthatgiveback #heartbeatbarbell

Lindsey Elizabeth Cortes interviews returning guest Marina Paul, founder and CEO of Superhera, a data-driven sports apparel company addressing female athletes' ill-fitting, male-centric gear and its links to body image and performance. Marina describes research conducted with 858 respondents (with researchers from Brooklyn College and Notre Dame) showing contradictions: 65% said sportswear is “fine,” yet 55% considered restricting food to fit better and 39% had done so; many also altered gear to make it work. Most athletes prioritized fit over look, and while 80% said they look like an athlete, descriptions of the “ideal” athlete emphasized being leaner and more toned. Marina explains Superhera's evolution into a sizing technology company using athlete measurements and photos to recommend uniform sizes and create custom gear for teams, now including men's teams. Marina Paul is the Founder and CEO of Superhera, a data-driven sports apparel company dedicated to closing the "gear gap" for female athletes. A former Division I soccer captain at Georgetown University, Marina transitioned from elite athletics to a career in consulting before launching Superhera to solve a systemic multi-billion dollar sizing error in the sportswear market. Her mission is deeply personal: after a successful career on the field was marred by a battle with body dysmorphia—driven by ill-fitting, male-centric uniforms—Marina set out to revolutionize the industry.

Recorded live at the Marketecture Live Conference in New York City, this episode brings together Cosette Chaput, CEO & Co-Founder, Always Alpha; Allyson Felix, Co-Founder, Always Alpha; Wes Felix, Co-Founder, Always Alpha; and Zoe Ruderman, Chief Content Officer, ADWEEK, to unpack how female athletes are reshaping brand strategy, storytelling, and ROI. From breaking outdated sports marketing models to building authentic athlete-driven campaigns, this conversation dives into why brands need to rethink their approach now, before the window closes ahead of LA28. Takeaways Women's sports is a high-growth business, not a trend, delivering strong and compounding ROI. Traditional sports marketing models were built for men and do not translate effectively to female audiences. Brands miss the mark by targeting male audiences instead of engaging female consumers authentically. Female athletes outperform influencers in engagement and trust despite having smaller followings. The biggest opportunity lies in storytelling. Female athletes bring relatable, real-life narratives that drive deeper connection. Waiting until major events like the Olympics is too late. Effective campaigns require long-term buildup. Investment in women's sports is currently top-heavy, creating sustainability risks if the broader ecosystem is not developed. Brands that win collaborate with athletes as partners, not just endorsers. Categories like beauty are leading the way, while sectors like finance and automotive still lag behind. The window of opportunity is open but closing fast as competition and valuations rise.

We dive into the often-overlooked topic of amenorrhea: the absence of menstruation. Biomechanist Katy Bowman and biologist Dr. Jeannette Loram unpack the science with a focus on Functional Hypothalamic Amenorrhea (FHA) linked to energy deficiency in athletes. They explore how intense training and and sport pressures around leanness or weight can disrupt regular hormonal signals, affecting long-term bone density, cardiovascular health, and performance. They also discuss the original concept of the Female Athlete Triad (low energy availability, menstrual dysfunction, and low bone mineral density) and its evolution into RED-S (Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport), a more holistic model encompassing many aspects of health and wellbeing.The conversation expands into evolutionary perspectives, comparing Western menstrual experiences—from menarche to menopause—with those of hunter-gatherer populations like the Hadza, and questioning what “normal” really means. Ultimately, this episode reframes intense athletics as a nuanced practice that must be supported by adequate nutrition and recovery.Enhanced Show Notes and Full Transcript00:00 – Intro & Sponsors02:45 – What Is Amenorrhea?05:40 – Primary vs Secondary Amenorrhea09:00 – Functional Hypothalamic Amenorrhea (FHA): Energy deficiency and hormonal suppression11:10 – Female Athlete Triad → RED-S: Evolution of understanding in sports science21:30 – The Hadza perspective: menarche to menopause25:25 – Negative consequences of amenorrhea: Bone Health  29:15 – IUD induced amenorrhea 37:00 – Historical and modern timelines for menarche compared to the Hadza 50:45 – Closing thoughts on ancient humans Links & Research Mentioned:Substack article that prompted this episode Dr Jen Gunter's article on the hormonal IUD and bone health Foraging & Menstruation in the Hadza of Tanzania Comparison between The Female Athlete Triad & RED-SConnect, Move & Learn:Join Our Newsletter: Movement Colored GlassesFollow Katy on SubstackTry Katy's Virtual Studio Free for 7 days!Made Possible By Our Wonderful Sponsors:Ikaria Design: The Soul Seat® offers height-adjustable, multi-position sitting—get 10% off new chairs and desks with code DNA10.Smart Playrooms: Beautiful playroom design and movement-rich equipment—save 10% on monkey bars and rock-wall items with code DNA10.Peluva: Five-toe minimalist shoes that move like you do—take 10% off with code NUTRITIOUSMOVEMENTMovemate: Active standing boards with smoothly articulating wooden slats.

Keely's back from her Step 1 Medical Licensing Exam and honeymoon chaos, and we're diving straight into one of the most important conversations for female athletes right now: stress.Stress from training. Stress from life. Stress from the world. Stress from big exams and big dreams.It's a perfect transition into the brand new 2025 Female Athlete Triad Coalition consensus update and what those changes means for athletes, coaches, and doctors.We break down:What cortisol actually is (and why it's not always the villain)Energy deficiency vs. REDs vs. the Female Athlete TriadWhy BMI isn't an accurate measure of athlete healthNew hormonal markers that do matterWhy adolescent runners are especially vulnerableAnd why life stress absolutely counts when it comes to health and performanceAnd then Keely and Corrine address the “Lindsey Vonn controversy,” highlighting the clear double standard in how injured athletes are judged. When men compete through injury, it's called grit. When women do, it's labeled reckless or irresponsible.This episode is brought to you by:rabbit: If you're looking to treat yourself after the holidays or upgrade your winter running kit, head to www.runinrabbit.com and use code FEBTRAIL in February for 10% off.ProBio: Use code Trail20 for 20%-off orders (30%-off + free shipping w/ subscriptions) at probionutrition.comFeisty Strong Retreat in Atlanta - April 17-19, 2026: https://feisty.co/events/feisty-strong-retreat-atlanta/@feisty_media@trail.society

Hello & Welcome to Today's Episode about all things Female Athlete with my friend and colleague, Ros Cooke. I had the pleasure of seeing Ros present on this topic at the POGP conference in Edinburgh last October.In today's episode, we discussed pelvic health in sportsthe 6Rs framework for postpartum athletes and its application to broader pelvic health considerations. (Donnelly et al 2022 Reframing return-to-sport postpartum: the 6 Rs framework)we also explored how pelvic floor dysfunction can contribute to groin pain in athletes and emphasized the importance of integrating pelvic health into mainstream sports medicine practice. The conversation also covered ACL injury prevention in female athletes, with Ros highlighting that while hormonal factors may play a role, they are just one aspect among many including biomechanics, training environment, and overall athlete resilience. We both agreed that successful injury prevention programs need to be purposeful, meaningful, and integrated across all aspects of an athlete's training and lifestyle, with pelvic health being an essential component of this holistic approach.I love needing out with clever people at this intersection of hormonal, pelvic & musculoskeletal health - and I think Ros is doing amazing things in this space to improve education, awareness and outcomes - you can find her on instagram @rosralph - you can find my continuing adventures in women's health there too @michellelyons_muliebrityAnd...if you'd like to learn more about menstrual health AND pelvic health for young female athletes - you might enjoy my latest online course, 'The Menstrual Detective' and you'll get the mini course 'Pelvic Health for the Younger Female Athlete' FOR FREE!!! all the details can be found at CelebrateMuliebrity.comUntil next time, Onwards & Upwards!

This week on Kliq This, Kev and Sean go everywhere. And I mean everywhere. It starts with Bitcoin vs gold, market volatility, paper assets versus physical assets, and how fast trillions can disappear when the market sneezes. From there it turns into conspiracy theories, precious metals, and why trusting anything "on paper" might be the biggest gamble of all. Then Kev recaps a Milwaukee trip where he was treated like royalty… until housekeeping tried to kick him out of a literal tribal chief's suite. From hotel horror stories and privacy paranoia to room service etiquette, airline lounges, bidets, and the unspoken rules of using someone else's bathroom, this episode goes fully off the rails in the best way possible. On the wrestling side, the guys dig deep into modern booking philosophy, Gunther's heat, AJ Styles' future, and why some stars don't need titles to matter. There's real talk about WrestleMania main events, Roman vs Punk, Drew McIntyre's positioning, and how much "real" emotion still exists when two pros get nose to nose. Plus, insight you won't hear anywhere else about money, miles, and why leaving cash on the table is the ultimate sin. And yes… it all leads to a Mount Ashmore debate you didn't know you needed. Kev breaks down his picks for hottest female athletes across sports, explaining not just the looks, but the attitude, swagger, and athletic edge that makes them stand out. It's funny, unfiltered, wildly inappropriate at times, and exactly why Kliq This never sounds like any other wrestling podcast. Unpredictable, uncensored, and somehow still insightful.

"The first time [younger female athletes] work with a barbell or trap bar or something, you can see it. They're like, 'this is bada**, this is awesome," shares physical therapist and ultra-endurance athlete, Hannah DePaul, on this episode about building bone density and weight lifting for female athletes (from highschool and up!).  Hannah DePaul is a former D1 Swimmer, who held multiple records at the University of Michigan, and has gone on to run ultra-marathons. She's currently training for The Huron 100, a point-to-point independent event based outside of Ann Arbor, MI.
