In sports, I believe that the highest standard we can set and hold for ourselves and others, is the ability to put humanity above all else. 1/3

Lets stop talking about training women as women. What does this mean and what is it based on? No one is talking about training men as men. TRAIN AS ATHLETES. If you do this, ovarian hormone profiles will automatically be included, same as every other aspect of your physiology is.

[Kirsty Sale @ElliottSale]

6) Female athletes [sport practitioners and researchers]: learn about your [your athletes] bodies and listen to them – it’s what all good athletes [practitioner/researchers] do. Train for the demands of your sport. Fuel for the demands of your sport. TRAIN AS ATHLETES.

@yegphysio I had no idea!! Thank you for the enlightenment!! Easy adjustment to make

[Dr. Ellie Somers @drelliesomers]

@yegphysio When I think about the metaphor itself, it’s someone helping to “hold things up.” If they get left out, forgotten or neglected, you risk things falling or collapsing. I’m neither for or against it. Would
Love your thoughts

[Dr. Ellie Somers @drelliesomers]

@yegphysio If we are talking sports here: stakeholder, to me, is someone with literal or figurative “skin in the game” - in rehab for example it could be someone who is held accountable to a process or outcome, participating or contributing to the success of a return to play for example

But most important, it requires SELF LOVE, the kind where you know your worth inherently despite your errors and lack of involvement in a process. 3/3

[Dr. Ellie Somers @drelliesomers]

Many think it’s the minimum standard, but it’s actually the hardest one to achieve day in and day out. It requires humility, patience, a commitment to process, openness, kindness, a resistance to the “norm,” COURAGE, bravery, vulnerability, a removal of the “self” 2/3

@PTPintcast This is an ableist hot take and our profession does not need more of it

[Dr. Ellie Somers @drelliesomers]

@MuyVienDPT Lots of nuance! My only take on this: if we are researching women’s hormones through the lens of “RISK” then we must do the same for men. Otherwise, we run the risk of feeding a dangerous narrative that women are fragile inherently.

@agordon55 Ohhh it’s meee! No longer with Reign though but that’s ok 😎
