In this episode, we talk with Coach Kara Landells about the importance of incorporating movement patterns into the strength routine. She explains how she transitioned from being an athlete who experienced many injuries to learning how to overcome them and assist other athletes.

In this chapter, we delve deeper into the challenges that female athletes face.

With hormonal changes beginning in puberty and remaining present throughout life, we discuss the importance of understanding the changes that every female will go through.

Further, we will identify how these hormonal changes impact body structure, emotional states, periods, and body image.

We also emphasize how important it is for coaches and parents to educate themselves, so they can better understand and are able to guide female athletes in the best way possible.
