It contributes to force transfer\, load management\, and dynamic stability throughout athletic movement. \n\n\n\nBecca Sutton will explore the relationship between pelvic floor function\, orthopedic care\, and athletic performance. She will also discuss how expected and unexpected hormonal changes can affect the pelvic floor across the lifespan\, along with conditions that disproportionately affect female athletes\, including Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport\, or RED-S. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBeyond the Statistics: Understanding and Reducing ACL Injuries in Female Athletes\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKushal Patel\, MDBoard-Certified Orthopaedic SurgeonOrthopaedic Specialists of Dallas\n\n\n\nFemale athletes experience ACL injuries at disproportionately high rates—but risk is not determined by one factor alone. \n\n\n\nDr. Patel will explain why these injuries are more common among female athletes\, the roles of anatomy\, biomechanics\, training demands\, and other contributing factors\, and what athletes can do to reduce modifiable risks. He will also discuss what today’s athletes should know about ACL treatment\, rehabilitation\, and returning to sport with confidence. \n\n\n\nDr. Patel is a board-certified orthopaedic surgeon specializing in sports medicine and shoulder surgery. His experience includes treating Division I and world-class athletes and helping athletes return to high levels of competition. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBuilt for Her: Assessing and Reducing Injury Risk in the Female Athlete\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKatie Sloma\, PT\, DPT\, CSCSResearch Physical TherapistMovement Science Lab FriscoScottish Rite for Children\n\n\n\nFemale athletes can demonstrate movement patterns that influence both performance and lower-extremity injury risk. \n\n\n\nKatie Sloma will explain what clinicians evaluate during jumping\, landing\, cutting\, and other athletic tasks. Using examples from sport-specific assessments\, she will show how factors such as quadriceps-dominant movement strategies and dynamic knee valgus can inform individualized exercises and recommendations. \n\n\n\nAthletes and parents will learn how a comprehensive movement assessment can help identify modifiable risk factors and guide strategies for safer\, stronger performance. \n\n\n\nKatie is a former collegiate softball athlete whose clinical and research interests include biomechanics\, injury prevention\, and return-to-play decision-making. She has authored multiple peer-reviewed manuscripts and presented nationally on ACL rehabilitation\, softball outcomes\, and return-to-play assessment. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFueling Her Performance: Nutrition for the Female Athlete\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKaylie Campbell\, MS\, RDN\, CSSD\, LDSports DietitianCuris Functional Health\, Rockwall and Plano\n\n\n\nTraining harder cannot make up for consistently underfueling. \n\n\n\nKaylie Campbell will discuss the nutritional needs of female athletes\, including important nutrients\, fueling around training and competition\, and how the menstrual cycle may influence nutrition needs.
