Overview
About the course
With the increased awareness and focus on the unique physiology and requirements of females in sport, this Supporting the Female Athlete short course at La Trobe University is designed to advance your knowledge and skills in the areas of training, nutrition and injury prevention for female athletes.
Designed to benefit coaches and support staff at all levels of sport, particularly within the development pathway, participants will also gain an understanding of how to create healthy sporting cultures that support optimal performance for female athletes.
This online short course is delivered in four self-paced modules that include informative seminars by leading practitioners in female health and performance, as well as Q&A sessions with athletes and coaches.
