Being around elite female athletes you recognize female specific sports science, equipment and training is far below that enjoyed by males. People are surprised that women-specific soccer (football outside of the US) shoes only appeared in 2022 and many coaches of young women have never heard of RED-S, which can impact health for the rest of their lives. ACL injuries may well be preventable with better training when girls are young. If you're interested in sports as an athlete or a fan - and especially if you know a girl who does sport, this interview of Christine Yu about her book Up to Speed is a good starting point. I've read the book and recommend it if you're interested in more depth.
