Female athlete health, mental performance, data-informed recruitment and leadership were foremost in conversations across the Leaders Performance Institute in December.<\/p>\n \n \n \n

    \u201cResearch shouldn\u2019t be about recognition, and a professional sports environment is not the place for research. The team and athletes suffer from it rather than benefit.\u201d<\/em><\/h4>\n

    Elsewhere in the report, we spoke to:<\/p>\n
