Improving body literacy in women and bringing a female centric approach to sport and performance
Show Notes

We're delighted to kick off our third season by speaking to Dr Emma Ross. Emma is such a passionate advocate of spreading the messages all women should know about their bodies-spanning across all age groups and levels of ability from participation to elite and how knowing this information is a 'right' not a 'privilege'.

Emma is one third of The Well HQ and we talk about her journey from academia to applied work in the Olympic and Paralympic system to now and why she decided to set up the consultancy business. The Well HQ is centred around treating female athletes as females, how they can use different factors around their physiology to their advantage and how we can change the culture to see knowledge as power and a tool to improve performance.

We also chat about why teenagers can get a hard time during puberty and why it's vitally important to start education early and spread positive and empowering messages about being a woman and sport and exercise.
