It’s Good Game’s 450th birthday – aka our 450th episode – so Big Citrus gets together to celebrate the milestone. Sarah, Alex, and Bianca discuss how the women’s sports landscape has changed since the show's launch in the summer of 2024, the highs and lows of the current women’s sports boon, and why they're worried about WNBA commissioner Cathy Engelbert’s comments about “fragility.” Plus, a stunning upset in Spain, another ACL bites the dust, and where's the real epicenter? Big Citrus asks the Slices to show them the way.

Professional runner, med student, and newly published author Mary Cain joins Sarah to discuss her memoir “This Is Not About Running" and the decision to use first-person present tense to share her meteoric rise as a running phenom and eventual abuse at the hands of a famed coach. Cain opens up about the struggles she encountered in high school before joining the Nike Oregon Project, the lies she was told as a member of that elite pro team, and the reality of “hot girl” contracts. Plus, another great memoir worth your time and breaking news from a superstar athlete that just so happens to appear in both books.
