CLEVELAND — Right now, Cleveland is at the forefront of women's sports, with the NCAA Women's Final Four in town. But, when the tournament ends, a lot of momentum continues to help keep women athletes healthy and playing the sports they love.
"I've learned that I excel at sports when I'm just on my feet instead of skates," said Husted, who lives in Gordon Square. "After college, after high school, a lot of women stop participating in sports, and then they find that their mental health and their physical health is directly impacted by that," said Elise Vue, co-founder of Play Gap."It is such a blast. Meeting new people, having that community of people to cheer you on," said Husted.
"More and more programs, high schools, colleges, other athletic programs are doing EKG screening prior to participation. Sometimes athletes get held out if there's a concern as to whether the EKG is normal or not. So now we have more data showing what's normal and what's abnormal, and that I think hopefully will allow more athletes to stay on the court without being held off unnecessarily," said Lander.
