Sarah Sammons: Sports have so much to teach us and I am here for the rise of women’s basketball

Sarah Sammons, Medical Oncologist at Dana-Farber’s Breast Oncology Center, shared a post by The Sporting News on X, adding:

“Sports have so much to teach us and I am here for the rise of women’s basketball.
I believe that the resilience I learned from riding the bench for 3 years of varsity basketball before starting led me to withstand the constant rejection and challenges of academia and medicine.”

Quoting The Sporting News’s post below:

“The final three games of Caitlin Clark’s career at Iowa all broke the record for most-watched women’s college basketball game.

12.3 million views LSU.
14.2 million views UConn.
18.7 million views South Carolina.”
