The Constellation Cup is one of the fiercest rivalries in world netball — Australia vs New Zealand — four brutal tests, pride on the line, and no room for weakness. But after Sunday Aryang’s ACL injury in the most recent series, many questioned whether fatigue and scheduling are putting players at risk.
In this episode, I dive into the science behind fatigue and injury:
How fatigue changes the way your body and brain perform
Why ACL risk increases under pressure and exhaustion
Whether female athletes are truly being overworked — or underestimated
And what smart training and recovery should really look like
It’s time to ask the hard question: are we protecting our athletes, or preventing them from progressing?
