Women's football player echoes Gronkowski

Lois Cook of the DC Divas said injuries require players to think about recovery after games, calling it 'Mack Truck Monday'.

“I want to last in this game, and I want to be able to walk off of the game on my own terms.”

DNA Vibe partnerships

Gronkowski and Lois Cook partnered with DNA Vibe, a company behind regenerative wearables and a facility in Ukraine.

“There are people in Ukraine that are struggling, moms, dads, kids being injured while having dinner, and young men and women coming back from the front.”
