297: The female athlete (with Morgan Smith)
Episode 297
Monday, 22 June, 2026
For decades, coaches have trained female athletes the same way they train male athletes — or worse, held them back entirely out of myth and misunderstanding. In this episode of the GAINcast, Vern Gambetta sits down with Morgan Smith, senior performance coach for US Soccer's women's youth national teams and former Stanford post-doctoral researcher, to tackle what we actually know about training the female athlete.
