Episode Synopsis
Text me your thoughts!Peak performance depends not only on effort, but also on alignment with the body’s natural rhythms.This episode explores current research on how hormonal fluctuations across the menstrual cycle influence training, recovery, and injury risk in female athletes. Drawing from emerging evidence—including the FIFA-funded study on female soccer players and ACL injuries—the discussion highlights what science has uncovered, what remains under investigation, and how athletes, coaches, and parents can apply these insights to training and recovery practices.The conversation examines ways to adapt workload, fueling, and recovery to support performance throughout all phases of the cycle. The goal is to empower athletes and sport professionals to view physiology as a performance advantage rather than a limitation.Designed for athletes, coaches, and parents seeking to understand the science behind performance and resilience, this episode offers practical tools for smarter training, improved well-being, and long-term growth.Support the showWebsite: https://www.becomingmystrongerme.com/Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/becomingmystrongerme/IG: @strongermeTikTok: @becomingmystrongerme
