ABOUT WIRED
WIRED is where tomorrow is realized.

As a sports scientist, athlete and director of the Female Athlete Program at Boston Children’s Hospital, Kate Ackerman understands that women athletes need more than pretty sports bras or new sneakers to achieve peak performance — they need true investment committed to their health and well-being. Ackerman advocates for a long overdue sports medical system that’s dedicated to the study and development of women athletes, supporting lifelong success on and off the field.
