#IWD22 Jessica Fox | The Art Of One Per Cent Improvements

Could you come back from your worst ever career moment to then put it all on the line two days later? That’s what today’s guest, Australian canoe slalom athlete Jessica Fox, did. And spoiler alert: she killed it. Jess is now the greatest paddler of all time – male or female – in her sport, and finished the last year with eight world championship titles. But it didn’t come easy.In this special International Women's Day chat, you’ll learn how she reframes disappointments so that she keeps improving – and what she shares is excellent advice that you can apply to your own health, wellbeing or career goals – plus she talks about training around her menstrual cycle, her tools for recovery and how she loves a good ugly cry.--The theme of this year’s International Women’s Day (IWD) on March 8 is #breakthebias. We’re being urged to work towards a gender equal world, one that’s also diverse and inclusive. Since becoming editor-in-chief, it’s been my mission to make sure we’re doing that in Women’s Health, because I understand what it feels like to not be represented. We’re not doing this perfectly by any means. It’s taking time, but that’s our aim. Pushing for gender equality is also why this week our podcast is dedicated to elevating women in sport, who often do not get the same recognition or coverage as male athletes. Like Paralympian Madison de Rozario says, “When we’re at a point where we don’t need to say ‘women’s sport’ that’s when we’ve actually achieved something. - WH editor-in-chief Lizza Gebilagin--This podcast was produced and hosted by WH editor-in-chief Lizza Gebilagin (https://instagram.com/lizza_marie/)With special thanks to: Olympian Jessica Fox (https://www.instagram.com/jessfoxcanoe/)Jessica Fox is also on the cover of the April issue of Women's Health Australia.
