Shownotes

How does wellbeing in women’s sport compare with the men’s? What additional support do they require? Can, or should, governing bodies, clubs and athletes be doing more?

Issues around wellbeing have made many front – and back – page headlines over the last year. Possibly the biggest case being the withdrawal of American record-breaking gold-medal gymnast Simone Biles from two finals at the Olympics, citing mental health issues as the reason.

Host Naomi Findlay is joined by Irwin Mitchell colleague, medical negligence expert and Crystal Palace goalkeeper Chloe Morgan, and Dave Ward, Leanne Infante and Abbie Ward of top-flight rugby team Bristol Bears Women. Together, they get to the bottom of this important issue.
