Reviews of this Webinar

Renee

Was fantastic! Thank you.

Great Webinar

Kjersti

This was a great webinar. So informative.

Gratifying to have education specific to female physiology and activity

Lesley

Thank you so much. Lots of food for thought. Particularly interested in the effects of poor nutrition and interesting facts around contraception. I have a daughter who is a high-performance athlete, now in her 20’s. It’s been very difficult to balance good health and the demands and expectations of coaches and players when she was younger.

Great webinar

Kelly
