Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media
Inclusion in Sport: Discussion
Ms Mia Galligan:
On discussing it with coaches and so on, it needs to be taught to the coaches in a lot more detail because even if we were to go to a coach with a problem, a lot of coaches do not seem to know what to say to us. The extent of the effect a period can have on a girl while she is training can be so severe it needs to be taken into account while they are training. It needs to be taught more in order that the girls are more comfortable speaking to a coach or somebody about it.
