Accessible information surrounding Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-s) has long-been lacking since the International Olympic Committee identified it as a health concern in 2012.
There is a noticeable under-education that girls receive about their hormonal function and menstrual cycles as a part of traditional schooling.
The details of birth control options are rarely discussed with young women when they are offered them.
Most notably, there are countless injustices and misinformation that women continue to encounter in healthcare settings.
This course is designed to meet those needs.
It is about education.
Informed decision-making.
Empowerment.
Self-advocacy.
Don't go a step further in competitive sports without taking this course.
