We’re delighted to offer this online workshop, in collaboration with Orna Murray from Move2B. This workshop is aimed at coaches who work with female athletes, to highlight and deconstruct the hidden barriers they face when it comes to performance and menstruation. Move2B is a platform that aims to provide information and evidence-based solutions to prevent teenage girls from disengaging or dropping out from sport and physical activity.
Topics Covered:
- Introduction (overview/opportunity/landscape of WIS)
- Female Physiology (myth busting)
- Menstrual Cycle Made Easy (why this matters)
- Menstrual Cycle Resilience
- Practical Steps (open comms/getting started)
Target Audience:
- Primary focus: Coaches who work with young women
- Secondary focus: Female athletes (16+) and parents
Project-Specific Information:
- Open up a discussion on the research and science and how we can use it.
- Address real-life realities of coaching female athletes.
- Include activities to facilitate the reflection on own lived experiences.
- Inclusive language, encouraging & accessible (removal of scientific jargon).
- Inclusive for coaches supporting athletes at all levels, from participation to elite.
