Can you believe it? We discussed tampons and periods LIVE from the Main Stage at the Vinfast IRONMAN World Championships!!
Yes, that's right. In conjunction with the historic all-womens IRONMAN World Championship race in Kona, Feisty Media hosted three different panels relating to female athletic performance.
In this session, Feisty Media host, Selene Yeager, welcomed a panel of experts on harnessing your female physiology, both physical and psychological.
In addition to understanding your body and seeking professionals who understand female athletes, the panel also discussed the mental aspects of racing as a woman - from battling imposter syndrome to developing a mental race strategy for the best performance on race day.
The expert panel included:
