Really interesting female athlete webinar from @ORRECO1 on #IWD2021. Some great insights from the panel on challenging the norms and current practices around the menstrual cycle and contraception in elite sport. Loads more discussions to be had/research to do!
Really highlights how important it is that practitioners, coaches and parents advise/support athletes of all ages on anti-doping so they can follow a career in sport!
