What does athlete safety look like beyond preventing physical injury?In this episode, Erin Ayala, PhD, speaks with Dr. Gretchen Kerr, professor of kinesiology at the University of Toronto and an internationally recognized expert on psychological abuse, interpersonal violence, and maltreatment in sport.They explore why psychological harm is the most common—and often the least recognized—form of abuse in athletics, how win-at-all-costs cultures can normalize harmful behavior, and why some safe-sport reporting processes may unintentionally re-traumatize athletes.Dr. Kerr also shares evidence-based strategies for prevention, including shifting the definition of success toward athlete well-being, enjoyment, and belonging; strengthening communication among coaches, parents, and administrators; and using practical tools that address harmful behavior before it escalates.This conversation offers clear, actionable guidance for coaches, athletes, parents, sport leaders, and anyone invested in creating healthier, safer, and more positive sport environments.In this episode:Why psychological abuse is so common in sport—and why it often goes unnoticedHow safe-sport reporting systems can unintentionally cause additional harmWhy athletes need ongoing support beyond the initial reporting processHow win-focused performance metrics can contribute to unhealthy environmentsThe importance of prioritizing well-being, enjoyment, and belongingPreventive approaches, including quality-coaching tools and restorative practicesHow transparent communication can help protect athletesAbout Dr. Gretchen KerrDr. Gretchen Kerr is a professor in the Faculty of Kinesiology and Physical Education at the University of Toronto.

Concepts discussed include:  How to organize a training week if you only had 2.5 hours to train?  What 'training' is and how 'stacking' and movement snacks might help   Why context of the limited week matters - is it a stressful time or just a 'full life'  The importance and value of strength training during a time like this  How setting goals for the busy times helps you achieve success.

But some of the most defining moments of her life happened far from the competition floor.In this episode, Annie opens up about the raw and disorienting experience of seeing herself just days postpartum and not recognizing the woman in the mirror.

What does it really take to keep women athletes healthy, performing, and in sport for the long haul?Dr. Erin Ayala sits down with Dr. Margo Mountjoy, one of the world's leading voices in sports medicine, female athlete health, injury prevention, and athlete advocacy. Dr. Mountjoy has contributed to more than 20 International Olympic Committee consensus statements and recently served on the steering committee for the FAIR (Female Athlete Injury Prevention) consensus statement — a major global effort to close the research and implementation gaps in women's sports.She explains why the old “shrink it and pink it” approach to female athlete science doesn't work and why injury prevention is about far more than doing a few extra exercises. It's about neuromuscular training, load management, REDs, recovery, menstrual cycle tracking, sociological barriers, pregnancy and postpartum athlete support, and the systemic-level changes needed to make sport safer for girls and women.What you need to know as a female athlete:Neuromuscular training for ACL injury prevention, balance, landing mechanics, and performanceTraining load management and why rapid load changes increase injury riskPeriodization, recovery, and the importance of long-term athlete developmentREDs, fueling, sleep, stress, and sustainable performanceWhy menstrual cycle-based training should be individualizedWarning signs that an athlete may need more recoveryAnd the gap in research and implementation when it comes to women's sportsPlus, some practical guidance for recreational athletes, who may not think they're "serious enough" to need coaching, strength training, or nutrition support.

Ever compare yourself to others on Strava? Feel yourself pushed to do more to hit a "streak" or online badge? This episode's for you.Sport psychology professor Dr. Hayley Russell dives into the upsides and pitfalls of fitness‑tracking apps like Strava.She explores how self‑tracking can boost motivation, community, and self‑awareness — but can also fuel comparison, pressure, and body‑image concerns. What can you do to make the most of your online fitness tracking?Balance function over appearance: Use data to celebrate what your body can do, not how it looks.Set intentional goals: Focus on consistency and health‑supporting habits rather than perfection or daily “streaks.”Curate your feed: Mute or unfollow accounts that trigger negative social comparison; follow supportive communities instead.Take digital breaks when needed: Recognize signs of obsessive tracking and give yourself permission to step away without guilt.Leverage community features: Join or create niche groups (e.g., postpartum athletes, larger‑body runners) to find relatable peers and reduce isolation.Protect privacy: Adjust route‑sharing settings to hide start/end points and consider the safety implications of public activity logs.If you found this conversation valuable, hit Subscribe so you never miss an episode, leave a review on your favorite podcast platform, and follow us on social media for extra resources and behind‑the‑scenes content.Watch the episode on YouTubeJoin us at Feisty Fest - September 18-20th, 2026: https://feisty.co/events/feisty-fest/Sign up to Receive The Feisty Women's Performance Newsletter:https://feisty.co/newsletters/feisty-womens-performance/Follow us on Instagram:@feisty_womens_performanceVisit the Feisty website at https://feisty.co/ for info on all of our events and podcastsSupport our Partners:Momentous: Head to https://www.livemomentous.com/ and use promo code PERFORMANCE for up to 35% off your first orderHettas: Use code STAYFEISTY for 20% off at https://hettas.com/ Wahoo: Learn more about Wahoo Fitness Products at: Wahoo: Learn more at https://shorturl.at/WVhdr Tifosi Optics: Use code FEISTY2026 for 20% off at https://tifosioptics.com/

Sheletta Brundidge joins Chad for the full hour today for two Feisty Friday segments on her experience at the Bruno Mars show this week and discussion about the lawsuit from a transgender security guard against Minneapolis Police.

You probably *think* you're eating enough. But are you?In today's episode, Dr. Erin Ayala talks with performance dietitian and eating‑disorder specialist Rebecca McConville about Low Energy Availability (LEA) and Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED‑S) — and how even athletes (especially female athletes!) who think they're fueling enough might not be for the amount of activity they're doing.Rebecca breaks down the science behind LEA/RED‑S, shares practical strategies for athletes and coaches to identify and prevent under‑fueling, and explains how to create sustainable, performance‑enhancing nutrition plans.Key takeaways:LEA/RED‑S is actually a continuum of under‑fueling that can affect athletes of any size, not just “thin” competitors.Early warning signs include subtle changes in mood, sleep, menstrual cycles, bone health, and performance plateaus.Use the “energy bank” analogy (deposits vs. withdrawals) to understand deficits.Practical fueling hacks: portable “snacker boxes,” energy‑dense smoothies, and scheduled micro‑meals for busy women.A year‑long recovery roadmap (baseline assessment → acute intervention → long‑term monitoring) helps sustain health and performance.Rebecca McConville is a performance dietitian, eating‑disorder specialist, and author of Finding Your Sweet Spot. She helps athletes recognize, diagnose, and treat LEA/RED‑S through evidence‑based nutrition and holistic coaching.Links & ResourcesRebecca's website & email: AskMe@BeccaMcConville.comRead the book: Finding Your Sweet SpotFollow her on Instagram: @rebeccaeddietitian Join Feisty at the Grand Traverse in Duluth, MN on October 3rd!

To kick off The Daily T On Tour, Conservative, Reform and Labour politicians joined Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley to go head to head live on stage – and it didn't disappoint.James Cleverly, Tory shadow housing secretary, Zia Yusuf, Reform's home affairs spokesman and James Murray, Chief Secretary to the Treasury, hashed it out about the immigration “invasion” of Britain; how Starmer's Government is clobbering the middle class; and if our diminished military could defend the Falklands today.In a sometimes testy exchange, Mr Cleverly attacked Reform's record in local government, Mr Yusuf went after the Tories over immigration figures, and Mr Murray was almost laughed out the room when he tries to defend Labour's welfare policies.We want to hear from you!
