Coaching and Officiating - Menstruation, hormonal contraception and coaching women and girls

In this episode of the Coaching and Officiating podcast series we welcome Noella Green and Dr Brianna Larsen. Noella is a retired rugby union athlete and practicing accredited exercise physiologist and scientist, during her career as an athlete she personally experienced the transition of planning preconception, training while pregnant and returning to sport post-partum. Brianna is a senior lecturer of sport and exercise and the university of southern Queensland. Her research at the moment is focused on the menstrual cycle, hormonal contraception and educating athletes on these topics. To support coaches working with women and girls in community sport, the Australian Sports Commission is developing a series of resources to support coaches enhance their practice.
