This week, during a special educational session at the Vinfast IRONMAN World Championship, Feisty Media hosted a panel discussion on the main expo stage 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.
Hosted by Feisty Media's Selene Yeager, the expert panel included:
