15 - Amanda Smith talks about gender stereotypes in women's sports

Amanda Smith is a former NCAA D1/D2 athlete and former mechanical/aerospace engineer who worked on several NASA projects and is now a medical intuitive. Amanda works with female athletes who have gut pain that is taking them out of their sport. Along with the unpredictable pain, they struggle with depression and their grades are slipping. Amanda can scan their bodies to see what’s wrong, clarify it for them, map the path forward, and land them back in their best condition, back in their happy life, back in the game.Amanda's Notes from the Sidelines: You, the athlete, know what the problem is, but you often don't know the why. The why is the missing puzzle piece and the gut is the place to look and find the answers to so many health problems. Athletes have to respond quickly in situations when it comes to calming down. They don't have the luxury of pressing a pause button in the middle of a game, which is why learning mindfulness and breathing techniques is essential. Every athlete will have a difficult conversation with a coach at some point in their career, and ideally you want that to happen before college, so that you have some guidance in that conversation. Amanda is the perfect person to help with that guidance. The balance between masculine and feminine for female athletes is real. The very act of using the body in an athletic way is seen as masculine because of strength, power, speed, and precision, regardless of the grace, poise, and flow of some of the so-called feminine sports. Despite the above point, it's amazing that we live in a time where a strong woman is considered sexy.
