About this deal
Whether for my own understanding, training and general awareness of my body or to empower those I coach and train. More than once I have gone “No way!

A lot of revelations whilst reading this book, especially into the power and impact a woman's cycle has on her performance. I didn't know our period symptoms aren't due to our bodies filling with hormones but our bodies dealing with a big drop in hormones. I found the section on injuries women are most likely to face and how to mitigate this very useful. The section on nutrition was useful too and something I've been on a journey with as I increase my training.
