This is a YouTube video titled "Uncovering the Shocking Truth About Pregnancy and Athleticism" containing a conversation recorded in May 2023. The discussion features Beverley Simpson and another speaker addressing the challenges and misinformation surrounding training and recovery for pregnant athletes, emphasizing pelvic health and long-term performance.
And then that's when I started putting out a lot of programs and things to really help change the narrative that we were being given about what it means to be a pregnant athlete, how to train during that season, how to recover well postpartum, where you're prioritizing pelvic health considerations and also your long term performance, whatever that might be.
You know, it's a double edged sword and I'm someone who always goes towards the positive, but I can't. It would be remiss to ignore the fact that we've also got the other side now where we've got a lot of misinformation from pregnant athletes who may be going through athletic, you know, the athletic brain and they are influencing our general population out there because we still, even in 2021, we still have this, this narrative out there that says you either have to go hard or you can't move at all.
And we can hurt people if we give shitty advice.
