So, yeah, we just need to make sure they're getting the right amount of fuel for the tank so they can perform as well as they're able to on the pitch.
So there's a bit of a mixture between theory inside and practical outside.
We actually flipped the way the course worked from the pilot that we did in 2024.
We did feedback to the clubs afterwards and the feedback was that it was a little bit top heavy on the theory.
and they wanted a little bit more focus with the girls out on the pitch so now there's actually an online pre-course learning and that all the coaches will be able to look at before and then I'll come in just do one hour theory and then two hours practical out on the pitch so for example when I was doing it with Lakewood we had their underage girls come in and I would have delivered the practical on the pitch for them and then that's great because the girls get
A bit of a training with myself and then it's able to put the practical stuff into practice for the coaches.
Yeah, exactly.
And I think lots of the girls see the passion that lots of the coaches have for it and their eagerness to learn.
And when you're a young girl, that can be quite strong.
If you can see your coach really wanting to improve you and your teammates, wanting to learn from themselves.
Yeah, it can help the girls have a little bit more drive for that coach and a little bit more passion.
Yeah, 100%.
I think the girls having that ability to go and just have a chat with a coach, be it male, female, maybe even if it's not their coach directly, somebody in the club, and just normalising all this.
Girls have periods.
They have periods for years and years.
They're going to have periods for years and years.
And unfortunately, these can affect their performance.
And just how can we help them to perform the best on the field and not have any of these negatives affect their performance?
