Speaker 1: think I cried the first hour. It was like literally
Speaker 1: like one of those sad movie scenes. It wasn't raining though,
Speaker 1: but I was like looking at the window at all,
Speaker 1: like the cows and the horses, I'm really gonna miss it,
Speaker 1: slow tears looking out the window.

Speaker 3: as a Dallas wing ever in my life.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: Actually I've been wanting to keep track of this, because
Speaker 1: there's been some really random things and even things that
Speaker 1: I've been gifted that it's just like, Okay, yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't know. I just signed a Latle boo boo. I
Speaker 1: just signed a w NB gay hat. Okay, that was
Speaker 1: pretty cool. Lots of jerseys, balls posters. So what's the

Speaker 1: way somebody did that. Anyways, if you know, you know,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I can't even I'm put on the
Speaker 1: spot and I can't even come up with an answer. Now,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, even as a Dallas Wing. Craziest thing you signed?
Speaker 1: Any babies yet?
Speaker 2: No baby set?
Speaker 3: Oh my goodness. Okay, so we're gonna move on to Dallas.
Speaker 3: We're gonna pivot to Dallas. Questions when are your kids
Speaker 3: coming to visit you in Dallas? KK, Kalise K and
Speaker 3: I when they come to see you? KK will be
Speaker 3: here soon. Actually, her birthday's coming up. It is coming up.
Speaker 3: And then the rest of them, I don't know. I've
Speaker 3: told them all that I want them to come visit
Speaker 3: at some point, whether it's in May when they're off,
Speaker 3: or July and August when they're off, but like I
Speaker 3: would love to see them, I'd love for them to visit.
Speaker 3: I have an extra bedroom, or we can cuddle. I
Speaker 3: told cuddle. So I just know Caalise is going to
Speaker 3: hear this and take this as a green light. You
Speaker 3: should never said you can share the bed, babes. Are
Speaker 3: you still riding around in your Madison Read truck?
Speaker 2: No, I'm not. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know if I've said it on here, but
Speaker 1: I name the Madison Ribbean Maddie obviously after Madison Read.
Speaker 1: But I miss Maddie terribly. Like if you've never driven
Speaker 1: a Ribbean, at least the one that I had, there's
Speaker 1: like no on or off button. You get in when
Speaker 1: you walk up to it and unlocks automatically. You get in,
Speaker 1: it's already on, like you just put it in to drive,
Speaker 1: put in reverse, whatever. Then when you finish, you put
Speaker 1: in the park and get out, it turns off and
Speaker 1: locks on its own. There have been at least ten
Speaker 1: times that I've gotten out of my car, not turn
Speaker 1: the car off, Like try to go into drive and
Speaker 1: not turn the car on. It's really humbling switching cars.
Speaker 1: But I miss Maddie.
Speaker 2: Bring Maddie back to Dallas. Are you bringing Stewie to Dallas?
Speaker 3: I'm not.
Speaker 2: I can't.
Speaker 1: She's been with Curry for so long. I can't separate
Speaker 1: them like they can't be single dogs. They need each other.
Speaker 1: That would just be selfish if I did that.
Speaker 2: That's fair.
Speaker 1: She will come to visit though I.
Speaker 2: Was gonna say we missed your dogs. Though they'll come
Speaker 2: to visits.
Speaker 1: This segment of Committed to Care, Women, Health and Sports
Speaker 1: is presented by United Healthcare. Hey, guys, it's easy if
Speaker 1: you listen to futt around and find out. We know
Speaker 1: we like to talk about what's really going on behind
Speaker 1: the scenes, not just the games, but everything that happens
Speaker 1: in my life between the lines. So I thought, why
Speaker 1: wouldn't the People's princess share some more personal thoughts on
Speaker 1: ways to stay healthy that really eat.
Speaker 2: Today.
Speaker 1: I want to get into something that doesn't always get
Speaker 1: enough attention, injury prevention and what it actually looks like
Speaker 1: to come back the right way if you get one,
Speaker 1: and if you do get injured, coming back the right
Speaker 1: way matters. That's something I care about, and it's also
Speaker 1: why United Healthcare is a part of this conversation. They're
Speaker 1: committed to helping people better understand their health and stay
Speaker 1: ahead of issues before they become bigger problems. A big
Speaker 1: part of that is making sure people have the right information,
Speaker 1: the right support, and the clear path forward so you're
Speaker 1: not trying to figure it out all on your own.
Speaker 1: For athletes, a lot of injury prevention comes down to
Speaker 1: the details you stay on top of every day. Making
Speaker 1: sure your body is actually ready before you go full speed,
Speaker 1: not skipping over warmups, not rushing into things, and paying
Speaker 1: attention to how you're moving. That can look like taking
Speaker 1: a few extra minutes to activate the right muscle groups,
Speaker 1: making sure your joints feel good, and easing into intensity
Speaker 1: instead of jumping straight into it and hoping your body
Speaker 1: catches up. Spending time on mobility and stability, especially in
Speaker 1: areas that take on the most stress, so your body
Speaker 1: can handle the demands you're putting on it. That might
Speaker 1: mean focusing on hips, ankles, knees, the areas that do
Speaker 1: a lot of the work but don't always get the
Speaker 1: attention they need until something feels off. Balancing what you're
Speaker 1: doing matters too, not overloading the same movements over and
Speaker 1: over again without giving your body a chance to adjust,
Speaker 1: Mixing in different types of work, managing how much you're doing,
Speaker 1: and understanding that more isn't always better if your body
Speaker 1: isn't keeping up with it. And then there's awareness checking
Speaker 1: in with yourself regularly, not just once in a while,
Speaker 1: but consistently. How does your body feel today? How did
Speaker 1: it feel yesterday? Is something tighter than usual? Are you
Speaker 1: moving the same way you normally do? Those small chick
Speaker 1: ins matter. Catching those early gives you a chance to
Speaker 1: adjust before they turn into something bigger, and if something
Speaker 1: does happen, coming back the right way takes a different
Speaker 1: kind of discipline. It's not about jumping back in as
Speaker 1: soon as you feel okay. It's about progressing step by step,
Speaker 1: reintroducing movement, building confidence and how your body feels, making
Speaker 1: sure each phase actually feels solid before moving forward. You've
Speaker 1: got to be honest with yourself during that process, because
Speaker 1: one good day doesn't mean everything is back to normal.
Speaker 1: Consistency is what matters. This is especially important for female athletes.
Speaker 1: There's often pressure to stay on the court to keep
Speaker 1: going to not fall behind. But long term health comes
Speaker 1: from understanding your body, respecting where you are in the moment,
Speaker 1: and making decisions that support you over time. And that's
Speaker 1: where having the right support system matters. In sports, there
Speaker 1: are people paying attention to all of this, helping you
Speaker 1: catch things early, helping you make the right adjustments, guiding
Speaker 1: you through each step. Health Care should feel like that too.
Speaker 1: That's the idea behind United Healthcare, helping connect you with
Speaker 1: a team of healthcare professionals whose focus is centered on
Speaker 1: you so you can understand what's going on in your body,
Speaker 1: catch issues earlier, and know what to do next instead
Speaker 1: of guessing. That can include access to different types of
Speaker 1: care that work together, primary care specialists, physical therapy so
Speaker 1: everything feels connected instead of fragmented. It can also mean
Speaker 1: having tools and resources that help you stay informed so
Speaker 1: when something feels off, you know where to go and
Speaker 1: what to do next. Women understand that they have to
Speaker 1: take such specific care of themselves with doctors for all
Speaker 1: different things, and the goal is to make that care
Speaker 1: feel coordinated so you're not guessing, so you're not navigating
Speaker 1: it alone, so you can stay focused on what matters
Speaker 1: in your day to day life. At the end of
Speaker 1: the day, this isn't about doing one thing perfectly. It's
Speaker 1: about paying attention to the details, staying consistent with the
Speaker 1: small things, and having the support around you to handle
Speaker 1: whatever comes up the right way. That's what helps you
Speaker 1: say out there. This segment is presented by United Healthcare
Speaker 1: United Healthcare Committed to Care.
