Why staying true to yourself is the best way to be, with The World of Windsurf Girls
Manage episode 354321896 series 3444233
Super stoked to be joined by The World of Windsurf girls on the pod this week!
All competing in the IQ foil windsurfing class and fighting for a spot in the olympics, these girls have formed a team together to support each other.
We discussed why they went down this route, but this podcast is about much more than just windsurfing chat. We chatted about how they navigate being young women in sport, fitting a certain mould, both mentally and physically and why they're carving their own paths.
A big point of discussion was social medias role, after the girls went fairly viral posting a topless photo, only for there to be a fair bit of backlash from other female athletes within watersports.
We discussed staying in your lane, why the girls are speaking about so much more than just being a pro windsurfer, whether it's mental wellbeing, sexual wellbeing and a whole lot more. As a host this was a great, eye opening conversation to have with these 3 girls who whilst we do the same sport, they've had and are having a totally different experience.
As highlighted in my recent convo with @thecompassionateman, it's important to get other points of view. Hope you guys enjoy this fun conversation as much as I enjoyed recording it 🙌
