The opening module sets the ‘why’ of the whole course. It highlights gender gaps in data, opportunity and performance. It focuses on the importance of the female body and shows how dismissing the female experience can limit her performance and underserve her potential.

In this comprehensive guide to the menstrual cycle we explain how it regulates, affects and impacts active women. This hugely practical module develops coaches’ understanding so you can start conversations and integrate effective new strategies – such as cycle tracking – into your work.

This module highlights how kit, which should enable enjoyment, participation and performance, can be a massive barrier to all of the above. Poor kit choices can cause shame, pain, and disillusionment among active women. So let us guide you through kit, and the gamechanger that is the sports bra.

Good fuel is essential and this module offers nutrition advice tailored to active females’ physiology. Here we guide coaches through the complex ways women relate to food and their bodies, with actionable ways you, the coach, can promote positivity and body-confidence.

This module explores female-specific injury risks with successful practical prevention strategies you can embrace. We cover the need to design new sporting environments to further reduce risk and that, without action, one of women’s most precious assets – the brain – is especially vulnerable.

An underappreciated body nucleus, this module offers vital and liberating information about women’s bladders, bowels and pelvic floors. This is how to coach women to engage their pelvic floors and recognise risks. And how you can incorporate pelvic exercise effectively in your work.

Using all information, ideas and reflection from previous modules, number 7 brings it all together. This is everything: culture and kit, mind and body, menstrual cycles, injury and pelvic floors. This is confidence to effectively support female athletes and Act Braver in all future conversations.
