Hurdle

184. DiDi Richards, WNBA Player


Listen Later

On October 24, 2020, DiDi Richards' life changed forever. In a freak accident scrimmaging on the court at Baylor, Richards ended up temporarily paralyzed. For episode 184, she tells me the entire story: What happened, the road to recovery, the longterm emotional and mental anguish, and exactly how she was back on the court 38 days later (and in the WNBA within a year). We also chat about the state of women in sports, her thoughts on social media (and when it's useful versus not), and what's next — beyond basketball.
