Female athlete health, cultural leadership and improv – just some of the topics raised, debated and pondered in July.<\/p>\n \n \n \n

By Luke Whitworth<\/h6>\n
The Paris Olympics have made history as the first Games where 50 per cent of the medals will go to women.<\/h6>\n

On top of that, 11-time Olympic medallist Allyson Felix led an initiative to introduce the first-ever nursery for competing mothers and their children at an Olympic village.<\/p>\n

These are steps in the right direction at a time when the Games have shown us there is still much work to do to better support female athletes and their health.<\/p>\n

One can look at the world records involving the United States\u2019 women swimmers at La Defense Arena in Paris, to name an example close to Leaders Performance Institute hearts, and wonder what potential could be unleashed if the sporting world adopted more female-focused approaches to training, recovery and mental preparation.<\/p>\n

On that front, there is some superb work being done by our friends at Sport Wales, who shared insights with Leaders Performance Institute members in early July, and that\u2019s where we begin this edition of the Debrief<\/em>.<\/p>\n

How to increase education around female athlete health<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our Women\u2019s High Performance Sport community group has proven to be a mainstay for the female members of the Leaders Performance Institute.<\/p>\n

The community has made it clear that they believe there is a shortfall in education for staff around female athlete health.<\/p>\n

With this in mind, we welcomed Dr Natalie Brown, a Research Fellow working as part of a collaboration between Sport Wales and Swansea University with the Welsh Institute of Performance Science [WIPS].<\/p>\n

Brown led a rich conversation about her work<\/a> and suggested some practical ways in which you can make positive inroads when it comes to female athlete health education:<\/p>\n
