Emily Fox's Injury: Handled Properly?
In Episode #455 of the Scuffed Public Podcast, the hosts discuss Emily Fox's head injury during a game. Fox, who has a history of concussions, took two significant knocks to her head in the first half. Despite indicating she was fine after the first knock, the second impact led to further assessment, and she was eventually subbed out as a precaution. The hosts criticize the delay in conducting a thorough check after the first knock, emphasizing that head injuries should be immediately and rigorously assessed. They also highlight the importance of medical professionals making the call to remove players, not the players themselves, especially those with a history of concussions like Fox. The conversation underscores the need for stringent protocols to protect athletes from the long-term effects of head injuries.

Running with Us: Defender Emily Fox Shares Her Origin Story and Aspirations with Racing
Hi, I'm Emily Fox. I wear the number 11 jersey, play outside back, and I'm on Racing Louisville and the US Women's National Team. When I got drafted, I was super excited. It had been kind of a stressful year with COVID, and the draft that year was remote. One special thing about it was having some teammates around me, and they made it really special. My family also called me for support, and Racing Louisville trusting to pick me was an honor.
My mom signed me up for soccer when I was about three or four years old. I played soccer and gymnastics at the same time for a long time, but ultimately chose soccer because I loved the team aspect and had more fun playing.
Being at Racing Louisville is unique because there aren't many expansion teams. For me, having the opportunity to be on a team in its first year meant that a lot of rookies and younger players had a bigger impact and role right from the start. Our team had a unique opportunity for younger players to have a bigger role, and that was cool.
Our goal is to make it into the playoffs and be a top-six team. On a team level, having great chemistry and pushing each other is important. It's a long season, so helping each other out and building team bonding is crucial. We take it one game at a time because the league is so competitive, and you never know what the score will be. Winning one game at a time and making it to the playoffs is our focus.
