This event, while personally challenging, deepened her understanding of recovery and the mental and physical resilience required to overcome severe adversity, amplifying her mission to share JOGAs benefits globally. Under Webbs leadership, JOGA scaled rapidly, providing specialized training to elite organizations including teams in the NFL, NHL, MLB, NBA, and CFL.
