This episode is the introduction to a (minimum!) 5-episode series inspired by National Girls and Women in Sport Day. This series aims to blend the stories of dozens of female athletes in our network with our own perspectives and experiences. Here, we preview each of the key topic areas in our series (The Female Body, Community in Sport, The Forces We’re Up Against, and How it Makes You Feel), and then do a deep dive on our own journeys into sport. Featuring Katie Clayton and Elena Horton, coaches at The Endurance Drive.
