The ACL Crisis in Women's Football
Female footballers are 2 to 8 times more likely to suffer ACL injuries than their male counterparts. This isn't bad luck - it's a preventable crisis.
An ACL injury means 9-12 months of recovery. For many youth players, it ends careers before they start. The psychological impact lasts even longer.
Yet only 22% of players currently use prevention programs, despite 97% saying they would if proven effective.
The research is clear. The solution exists. The gap is implementation.
