Stories of Resilience Conference
On February 27 and 28 experts panelists and current/former athletes are coming together to launch three one-hour sessions. The topics are Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport and the importance of female periods, a vital sign of health. Power, what abuse of power looks like, and how to harness your own power. Finally we talk about understanding and embracing failure on the journey in sport. Together the stories we have and the stories we create are about being resilient in sport.
The topics are introduced by experts. The stories from athletes will encourage, lift up and give power to girls and women in sport. Our goal is to build a community of athletes that share dreaming big, and in being your best in sport––over the long-term.
