Menstruation in Female Athletes

One Third of Female Athletes drop out of sports by late adolescence (WSF). What if our periods and puberty play a larger role in that stat than we think? Josephine Kwan, founder of Flow 2 Freedom, is doing the research and providing solutions for this taboo subject that deserves the spotlight. In a day and age when our USWNT and teams like Chelsea are doing the sports science research on the effects of the menstrual cycle and its role in our performance as female athletes, why isn't this a topic we are discussing at the age when girls are first getting their periods? This episode is informative and pertinent for parents and coaches to listen to so they can educate themselves! Don't miss this one!
