Our Mission
The mission of She Plays Strong is to reduce the risk of ACL injuries in female soccer players through education, assessment, and training.
Our goal is to inspire female athletes to know their bodies, protect their potential, and play strong for life.
A Real Movement to Protect Our Athletes
The ACL epidemic
It feels like every day we read another devastating headline about a female athlete tearing their ACL. The numbers don't lie:
- ACL Injuries are 4-8 times higher in females
- 250,000+ ACL injuries per year in the U.S.
- 70% are non-contact injuries
She Plays Strong is a nonprofit powered by female experts who refuse to accept these statistics as inevitable. A real movement to protect our athletes.

Our team brings together doctors of physical therapy, professional soccer trainers, sports psychologists, health communications professors, and beyond, all dedicated to building a community of athletes that plays strong for life.
