Fitnesswise: Unlocking potential of women athletes

The Hindu  

Motivation plays a crucial role in bringing out the best in women athletes, with the right environment able to help them achieve peak performance in any sport, regardless of the format. Fostering a supportive environment thus becomes extremely important, as seen in the noticeable shift in the mindset of women athletes in recent years, indicating a growing willingness to embrace strength training. To demonstrate how strength training makes better athletes, I often take the examples of professional women athletes who work hard in the weight room. Establishing a Welcome Culture: Creating a conducive atmosphere for women athletes who are new to strength training is a must, especially if done in the presence of men. While over time, both men and women may work in tandem in the weight room, the latter must be made to feel comfortable all the way, until they start deriving motivation from the male athletes.
