Feed Drop: The [Female] Athlete Project

Her Y is taking a summer break, but we'll be back soon with the start of Season 5. In the meantime, we're partnering with podcasts that share our mission of celebrating women in sport. This week, we're sharing an episode from The Female Athlete Project podcast, founded and hosted by former Rugby 7's Olympic Gold Medalist Chloe Dalton. Chloe sits down with Australian Ironwoman Lizzie Wellborn, whose path to elite sport started far from a typical athletic upbringing. They dig into the pressure of early success, the mental and physical toll of competing in a grueling multi-discipline sport, and the personal battles Lizzie's faced along the way — plus the program she co-founded to help the next generation of female athletes navigate it all.
