We are thrilled to have on Katie Steele and Dr. Tiffany Brown, the authors of the newest book, The Price She Pays! These family therapists and founders of the Athlete Mental Health Foundation ask the important question: What is causing the mental health crisis in women’s sports?
Through first-hand accounts, research, and reporting, they reveal the deep layers of trauma and mistreatment women experience in their pursuit of excellence in sport. They show parents, coaches, and athletes how to recognize the signs of mistreatment and mental health issues, and reveal how, by focusing on the wellbeing of the whole person—not just the athlete— we can provide women and girls with the support they need to thrive, in whatever sport they choose, at whatever level they compete.

This week we interviewed three amazing players from MVLA 06 Roma! Welcome Piper Bertani (University of Hawaii), Jordan Geis (UCLA) and Charlotte Kohler (Stanford, Gatorade Player of the Year.) These three amazing players detail how it felt to play for a high level club team (ranked #5th in the country), their experience getting recruited and their feelings about their first upcoming college seasons. This is an episode for everyone with many great takeaways. Enjoy!

This week we dive into female focused nutrition for athletes! We interviewed Linda from Levelle Nutrition where they are using female specific data to help create nutritional sports performance products just for females.
