Sport is waking up to the physical differences between male and female athletes. The opportunity now is to bring that same level of understanding to mental performance. Performance is shaped by both physiology and psychology, and athletes deserve support that reflects both. #mentalperformance #playerreadiness #playerworkload #playermindset #playerwellbeing #ATHLEET
Women’s bodies are different than men's. 🤯 They move differently, from biomechanics and force production to injury risk, yet most sports science research has historically been conducted on men and then simply applied to everyone else. But female athletes deserve better. “Females need strength work, eccentric posterior chain training, deceleration mechanical exercises and they need these year-round. This should not be in ‘addition’ to training, it should be included in all female athletes’ programs!” says Maggie Andreis Designing women’s training programs around women’s bodies isn’t a niche approach, but a long-overdue science.
