    Emily Diamond - tennis, Tokyo and the need for more sports science to help women athletes

    January 20, 2021
    58m

    Our guest this week is someone with Olympic, World and European medals. It's Emily Diamond. A team mate of Martyn's in the 4 x 400m relay.

    Emily talks about her early life as a junior tennis player and the hours of practice she put in. She was eventually talent spotted for athletics and moved sports in her teens.

    Emily talks about her career and her coaches who've helped her along the way to her medals. And how she now combines living in the South West at the weekends and in Loughborough during the week.

    There's a lot of takeaways from this podcast and a great discussion on the need for more research to help women athletes around the use of contraceptives and the menstrual cycle.

    She's a great guest.

    Please get in touch with us and tell us what you think
