About this episode:

In 2024, Olympic silver medalist Courtney Frerichs was just weeks away from competing for her third Olympic team when an ACL tear shattered her plans. Women experience ACL injuries at significantly higher rates than men, yet research on female athletes remains limited.

In this episode, Courtney shares the emotional highs and lows of recovery and how shifting her mindset to “dreaming small” has helped pave the way for a big comeback.
