The One About Hormones

from Sober, Strong, & Slightly Unstable Hosted by Alana Asch & Jen Halper

Jen and Alana break down a talk Alana gave at the NSCA Mid-Atlantic Conference for certified strength and conditioning coaches. The talk was called: The Female Athlete – What I Wish I Knew. We discuss what actually matters when coaching women—periods, hormones, strength training, and how the fitness industry got here. We unpack outdated narratives, common mistakes, and the things Alana wishes she’d known earlier, as both a coach and an athlete. This episode is for coaches, athletes, and anyone who wants to better understand women in strength and sport.
