In this episode, Danielle and Jake sit down with Dr. Ellie Somers of Sisu Sports Performance and Physical Therapy and the US AFL Women's National Team. Ellie is a therapist, a run coach, a strength coach and an advocate for women in sport.
We go into a bit of a deep dive with Ellie on implicit gender bias and how we can advocate for and empower female athletes. Ellie provides a much-needed perspective for therapists and athletes alike, especially in the performing arts realm.
