Breakthrough Coinversations with Kathy Nguyen

<p>Angela snagged this conversation just about to pivot to a new season in her family’s life…going from being a mother of 3 to a mother of 4. Listen as Angela talks with Dr. Kathy Nguyen, a Family &amp; Sports Medicine Physician in Houston and the Chief Medical Officer of the Houston Dash. She's also a Team Physician for the Houston Dynamo, LOVB Houston, and serves on the Executive Medical Advisory Team for the National Women's Soccer League. Kathy approaches patient care as a long-term coaching relationship, as her work runs from professional sidelines to primary care to concussions and return-to-play decisions. Listen as these soccer leaders explore topics related to women athletes, and what they see on the horizon in terms of research and new treatments need for female athletes throughout their lives. Kathy understands that an athlete’s body is her livelihood, which requires a high level of patient/provider trust. She prioritizes creating safe spaces for her athletes, while understanding the cultural differences that may impact the effectiveness of her care. On a personal level, Kathy is learning to pivot towards all that fuels her passion by saying ‘no’ to those things that do not. No time fillers here. Drink your water and stay on purpose! We will be hearing a lot more from Kathy as investments in women athletic medical care continues to grow and evolve.</p><p>Pivots are not detours; they are the breakthroughs needed to expand the path forward.
