Know your body, know your power

We bring elite sports science to grassroots sport to help every girl and woman improve their health, wellbeing, avoid injury and stay active.

What we do.

Educational toolkits

Our toolkits and resources give you all you need to deliver our education to your club, school or community.

Workshops

Our in-person workshops share latest academic and sports performance research with grassroots clubs, schools and academies.

Individual support

Our one-to-one online education sessions share latest research on female physiology directly with coaches, parents and athletes.

Emerging research is pointing to a new way for women and girls to train in grassroots sport.

By tracking and understanding the power of their menstrual cycle and hormone fluctuations.

Working with rather than against their bodies.

To improve health, performance, avoid injury and stay in sport.

Sounds exciting, doesn’t it?
We think so.

We translate this latest research into practical education on female physiology in sport for coaches, parents, schools, and athletes.

We increase understanding, tackle taboos and normalise conversations about the female body in grassroots sport.

Because sport creates not only athletes, but leaders, changemakers and communities, keeping girls and women strong, healthy and empowered into old age.

So it’s important to share this. At a grassroots level level.

For all girls and women we know and love.

Don’t take our word for it

What others say

Why are we constantly mirroring the men’s game when we are not small men?
