Why equipment alone cannot bridge the gap for female athletes
In short: Beyond better gear and footwear, women athletes require a fundamental shift in medical support. This talk explores the necessity of a dedicated sports medical system designed specifically for women's health.

She advocates for a dedicated sports medical system focused on the long-term study and development of women athletes to support their health and lifelong success.
