In this episode I speak with Dr Anthea Clarke and Dan Hawke.

Dr Anthea Clarke is a senior lecturer in sport and exercise science at La Trobe University in Melbourne, Australia. She has an extensive list of publications in sports science with a large number focusing specifically on female athletes. More recently she has developed a short course for coaches of female athletes called “Supporting the Female Athlete” which is a must for any coach of female athletes. Link to the course below:

Dan Hawke is the former coach of the ACT Brumbies Super W Rugby team, he recently wrote a coaching paper on the challenges of coaching females as a male coach and I was really impressed with his honesty in addressing some really difficult subjects. This conversation addressed questions that coaches may have when coaching female athletes and with the rise of womens sport especially in the football codes it is a very timely conversation.

I am also really excited to announce that Anthea will be speaking at the Business and Development of Women’s Football conference that we will be hosting at the university of Sydney in July August coinciding with the FIFA Women’s Football World Cup. If you are interested in Women’s sport this will be a great event to attend.
