Dawn Scott: The growth of sport science and female athlete support

In this episode we speak to sport science expert and Physical Performance Manager at the English Football Association (FA), Dawn Scott.

Dawn has over 20 years experience in the world of the elite female athlete. Dawn was part of the US Women's Soccer Team who won an Olympic medal and two World Cup trophies.

We speak to Dawn about being one of the first sport scientists to work in women's football and how she brought a focus to the menstrual cycle and the training and nutrition protocols around it for athletes. We also chat about how the sport science space has changed over the years since she first started.

Dawn is in many ways a trailblazer and a big advocate for encouraging more women into sport roles whether it be through participation, managing, coaching or of course sport science support!
