29 AUG 2024 · Alicia Edge is the co-founder and principal dietician at Compeat Performance, a company that is revolutionising athlete nutrition and well-being through technology. Alicia is also the Lead performance dietician for the Matildas, the Australian Women’s Football team who won the hearts of millions for their performances at the 2023 FIFA World Cup. She has also held Nutritionist roles at the Australian Institute of Sport and the NSW Waratahs Rugby Union. I first met Alicia at an Exercise and Sports Science Australia forum that was discussing women in sport, and I saw someone who was very passionate about sport and performance and more importantly about female heath and well-being. Alicia later joined me on a panel at the Business and Development of Women in Football Conference and again her passion for advocating for women in sport not just as athletes but in all of the support roles such as coaching and organisational roles was inspirational.

1 MAY 2023 · In this episode I speak with Dr Anthea Clarke and Dan Hawke.
Dr Anthea Clarke is a senior lecturer in sport and exercise science at La Trobe University in Melbourne, Australia. She has an extensive list of publications in sports science with a large number focusing specifically on female athletes. More recently she has developed a short course for coaches of female athletes called “Supporting the Female Athlete” which is a must for any coach of female athletes. Link to the course below:
https://www.latrobe.edu.au/courses/short-courses/supporting-the-female-athlete
Dan Hawke is the former coach of the ACT Brumbies Super W Rugby team, he recently wrote a coaching paper on the challenges of coaching females as a male coach and I was really impressed with his honesty in addressing some really difficult subjects. This conversation addressed questions that coaches may have when coaching female athletes and with the rise of womens sport especially in the football codes it is a very timely conversation.
I am also really excited to announce that Anthea will be speaking at the Business and Development of Women’s Football conference that we will be hosting at the university of Sydney in July August coinciding with the FIFA Women’s Football World Cup. If you are interested in Women’s sport this will be a great event to attend.

Nicola’s field of research is in Behavioural Science, Motor control and Learning, and Sport Psychology. She has over 150 published journal articles, book chapters and edited books and has been cited over 7000 times by other academics including myself.
