Almost 10 years ago @FIFPRO published its very first employment report in women’s football. The industry has developed remarkably in that time. Yet, gaps remain and players are acutely exposed to those gaps. As investment continues to grow, better redistribution is needed👇

This project is not dead, just way slower for personal reasons. Sorry. As for the near future, I don't think I'll be able to be as up to date as I used to but I'll try to at least do this kind of post (kinda) monthly. Thank you for your understanding and for still being here 🙏

Hello everyone, Once again, I won't be able to post for sometime. Sorry. I know that August can have a high number of ACL injuries, but also nice comebacks so I'll post updates ASAP. I'm aware I might miss some news so feel free to send a DM, tag me or leave a reply. Thanks!

Dan Lorenz@kcrehabguyJun 30
New @BJSM_BMJ paper shows the risk of TKR increases 3X after having ACL reconstruction. I really wish these studies were able to correlate that to quad strength. Always seems to be underreported.

Imagine suffering one ACL injury. Now imagine a second game 8 games after your return. Now imagine a third one 11 games after your return. Holly Mac went to hell and back and continued scoring goals. McNamara is one of the most resilient footballers and a madly talented one as well. Still just 23 and hopefully will continue to score heaps of goals wherever she goes.
