From Serena Williams' return sparking new conversations about athlete comebacks and motivation, to Nike's calculated timing strategy behind Caitlin Clark's signature shoe launch, this episode digs into what's really driving the business and culture of women's athletics.

They also cover Sam Kerr's highly anticipated return to the NWSL, the cultural weight of the Women's World Cup on the global stage, and how sports have a unique power to unite people across borders. Beyond the headlines, Lauren and Jacki spotlight the leadership and sisterhood happening behind the scenes — including how Paige Bueckers and Juju Watkins are showing up for their teammates — and wrap with a Coaches' Corner segment on intentionality and resilience in athletics.

    Women Deserve Better: WNBA Highlights and the Case Against Platforming Abusers

    *This episode contains discussion of sexual abuse. If you or anyone you know has experienced sexual abuse, please know there's resources out there for you like the National Sexual Assault Hotline, available 24/7: https://rainn.org/. Only 2% of college athletes ever go pro — but the women who do are reshaping sports culture in real time. In this episode of The Click Clack Show, co-hosts Lauren Duletzke and Jacki Gemelos bring the WNBA roundup you need and the conversation sports media keeps dodging. When Jimmy Fallon welcomed Conor McGregor onto his show for laughs and headlines, it sent a message — and Lauren and Jacki aren't letting it slide. McGregor, who has faced serious sexual assault allegations, was given a mainstream platform with no accountability, no context, and no pushback. This is exactly the pattern that holds women's sports back: male athletes with documented histories of misconduct get rehabilitated by late night couches and highlight reels while women's leagues fight for basic airtime. Lauren and Jacki break down why platforming matters, what media responsibility actually looks like, and why fans and consumers have power in this conversation too. Then it's into the WNBA — game highlights, standout performances, heated rivalries, and why Alyssa Thomas remains one of the most underrated players in the league right now. From Nneka Ogwumike legacy moment to 30 years of WNBA history to the NCAA eligibility changes reshaping college sports, this episode covers the full landscape of women's basketball with the depth and honesty it deserves. If you believe women's sports deserve more than token coverage — and that accountability shouldn't disappear when the athlete is famous enough — this episode is for you. ⬇️ WHAT WE COVER: WNBA Roundup — Recent game highlights, standout performances, and why Alyssa Thomas remains one of the most underrated stars in the league Celebrating 30 Years of the WNBA — What the league's history means for the next generation of athletes NCAA Eligibility Rule Changes — What's shifting, who it impacts, and how college athletes need to think about their futures now NIL, New Leagues & Player Movement — The evolving landscape reshaping how athletes build careers and brands Media Representation in Women's Sports — How athletes are portrayed, what messages that sends, and why it matters Athlete Activism & Accountability — Holding space for athletes to lead while also holding the standard high Addressing Sexual Assault in Sports — A candid, necessary conversation WNBA All-Star Weekend — The excitement, the energy, and what to watch for Celebrating Small Wins — Why acknowledging progress, even incremental progress, is part of building a sustainable movement ⬇️ CHAPTERS: 00:00 — The Two Percent Club: Going Pro in Sports 02:58 — The WNBA Roundup: Intense Games and Rivalries 06:01 — Alyssa Thomas: The Underrated Star 09:02 — Celebrating 30 Years of the WNBA 12:05 — New Leagues and Player Movements 15:08 — Future Stars: The Next Generation of Athletes 19:44 — Empowering Female Athletes in Leadership Roles 25:01 — The Excitement of WNBA All-Star Events 30:11 — Navigating Changes in NCAA Eligibility 32:38 — Addressing Sexual Assault in Sports 38:52 — Celebrating Small Wins and Acknowledging Privilege 👉 Subscribe and turn on notifications for more weekly conversations on women’s sports, athlete mindset, and culture:    / @clickclackshow  Follow Your Hosts: Jacki Gemelos: https://www.instagram.com/jacki23/?hl=en Lauren Duletzke: https://www.instagram.com/laurenizrael/   Follow Click Clack: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/itsclickclack/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@its.clickclack

    Indiana Fever Drama, All-Star Predictions & Celebrating PRIDE in Women's Sports

    Lauren and Jacki are back with another unfiltered episode — and this one hits different. From WNBA season drama to Pride Month celebrations to one of the most moving athlete stories of the year, this episode is a full-circle reminder of why women's sports matter. They open with some personal vibes before diving straight into the Indiana Fever's rocky road and what it means for the team's trajectory. They break down the Commissioner's Cup, weigh in on Breanna Stewart's podcast and what it says about team culture, and make their All-Star predictions — including rising stars you need to have on your radar. Then the conversation shifts to something bigger: Pride Month, LGBTQ+ visibility in sports, and the power of showing up authentically. Lauren and Jacki highlight Charlisse Leger-Walker — the first Māori player in WNBA history — as a landmark moment for diversity in the league. The emotional centerpiece of the episode is Jordy Frahm, the NCAA softball standout whose journey is a masterclass in resilience, authenticity, and heart. This one is worth the listen. They close in Coach's Corner with a reflection on compassion, connection, and what it really means to lead with love — on and off the court. ⬇️ WHAT WE COVER: Indiana Fever struggles and what's nextCommissioner's Cup breakdownBrianna Stewart's podcast and team dynamicsAll-Star predictions and rising WNBA starsCharlize Ledger Walker: first Māori WNBA playerPride Month and LGBTQ+ visibility in women's sportsJordy Frahm inspiring journey in NCAA softballCoach's Corner: compassion and authentic leadership⬇️ CHAPTERS: 00:00 – Cleansing Rituals & Personal Vibes 02:33 – WNBA Hot Takes: Indiana Fever's Struggles 08:09 – The Commissioner's Cup: A New Competitive Edge 10:21 – Brianna Stewart's Podcast & Team Dynamics 13:57 – All-Star Predictions: Rising Stars in the WNBA 21:07 – Winning vs. Individual Accolades 24:20 – Celebrating Diversity in Women's Sports 27:28 – Pride Month: A Celebration of Love & Community 31:40 – The Intersection of Love and Sports 37:08 – Jordi Fram's Journey 42:10 – Coach's Corner: Compassion & Connection👉 Subscribe and turn on notifications for more weekly conversations on women’s sports, athlete mindset, and culture:    / @clickclackshow  Follow Your Hosts: Jacki Gemelos: https://www.instagram.com/jacki23/?hl=en Lauren Duletzke: https://www.instagram.com/laurenizrael/ Follow Click Clack: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/itsclickclack/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@its.clickclack

    Defense wins championships — so why don't defenders get the credit?
