I had the pleasure of being joined by Grant Downie OBE to talk about his experience working in high performance and elite sport, ⠀ ⠀ From working with Arsenal ladies, to Glasgow Rangers, to gymnastics and everything in between, it’s safe to say Grant has an impressive CV, ⠀ ⠀ However, he still remains to be one of the most humble individuals I have spoken to in the sport sphere. In the pod, we talk about: ⠀ ⠀ • the importance of education opportunities for athletes, particularly girls being recruited from young ages⠀ • menstruation in high performance athletes ⠀ • the importance of educating players, parents coaches and above to organisational level around the menstrual cycle ⠀ • how we need to support female athletes and how this might look different than for males ⠀ ⠀ This episode is an hour of candid, honest, and in depth discussion around where we are at in elite female sport, and what we need to do to get where we want to be. Grant is an inspiration to say the least, I can’t wait for you to listen and reap the benefits of his advice!
