In this episode, Chris and Bill talk with Emma Ross, a trailblazing leader in sports science, a staunch advocate for women's empowerment in sport, and Co-Founder and Chief Scientific Officer at The Well HQ. Emma was formerly the Head of Physiology at the English Institute of Sport, where her mandate included nurturing Team GB talent across the hugely successful Rio and Tokyo Olympics.
Emma brings a wealth of knowledge on how science and data can empower teams to perform at their peak, whether that’s on the sports field or in the boardroom. Emma’s work focuses on well-being, resilience, and optimizing performance. Her insights are bound to inspire leaders to rethink how they support their teams.
Emma is a sought-after voice and consultant in women's sports, championing inclusivity, equity, and recognition of the female athlete's full potential. Despite her own background as a former rugby player and avid marathon runner, Emma recognizes the systemic barriers within cultural, medical, and academic frameworks that must be dismantled to pave the way for women's success in sports.
