Megan Rapinoe is among several athletes touting the therapeutic benefits of CBD for pain management and recovery.
Long before the women’s soccer icon became the famous sports player she is today, Rapinoe endured a range of setbacks playing the game she loves most. In fact, Rapinoe possesses a long list of knee surgeries dating back to her college days.
In her sophomore year at the University of Portland, Rapinoe tore her ACL for the first time and tore it again during the second game of the next season. After the 2015 World Cup, she then tore her ACL in her right knee and had another surgery in 2017 to repair a meniscus tear in her left knee.
Needless to say, Megan Rapinoe has faced the brutal consequences of being a sports player, and a notable one at that. But with all injuries comes the recovery process.
While no two recoveries are exactly the same, Rapinoe said that she’s found one natural alternative to help manage the pain from her injuries: CBD. She believes in the remedy so much that her and her twin sister developed CBD products of their own called Mendi, which is a premier line of CBD oil designed for athletes experiencing similar pain.
“When it’s taken after a hard training and before bed, I feel it gives me a better night’s sleep and I feel like I’m able to relax a little bit easier,” Megan Rapinoe said.
“So, I kind of just have it in my daily routine, like I would eat healthy and take natural products and drink a lot of water and take CBD and get as much sleep. It’s kind of the secret sauce.
Rapinoe’s line of CBD products is derived only from the hemp plant and contains zero THC and serves as a viable solution for pain in athletes.
Even Tampa Bay’s tight end player Rob Gronkowski who played for the Patriots with Tom Brad for 9 seasons is an advocate for CBDMedic’s line of CBD-infused topical creams.
Riley Cote, a former player for the Philadelphia Flyer’s, founded a unique line of premium hemp products called BodyChek Wellness back in 2017.
When Megan Rapinoe’s sister, Rachael Rapinoe, played for the Portland Pilots just like her, she also struggled with injuries and had four separate knee surgeries that unexpectedly ended her soccer career.
However, Rachael Rapinoe went on to receive her master’s in health and exercise, which led her down the route of CBD.
“When I first started using it, and when I started seeing other athletes use it, the first thing I noticed is that they were bouncing around from brand to brand and there was no real trusted sports brand in this space. So that’s when I saw an opportunity to build something that athletes could really trust and that really spoke to athletes,” she said.
In the last year, Mendi has already surpassed expectations after the launch during the Women’s World Cup.
While there are no uniform policies among professional sports players when it comes to CBD, restrictions appear to be loosened as cannabis is legalized in many states.
