Healthy Sport (Part 2) - How do we get better?




A New Angle show

Summary: Today's episode is Part 2 of our healthy sport series. In Part 1 we tried to define the problem; here we ponder some solutions. To do that, we speak with two important players in the Missoula athletics community. Courtney Babcock is a former collegiate and Olympic runner and now runs a highly successful coaching practice with a focus on wellness and longevity. For a variety of reasons we’ll talk about today, Courtney was able to successfully navigate the risks and pressures of an elite athletic career. Dr. Rob Amrine is a sports medicine specialist and an expert on the emerging science of Relative Energy Deficit in Sport (RED-S). He’s also typical of many Missoulians – he leads a busy, successful life while still crushing on the bike. Courtney and Rob share some important wisdom and offer actionable insights.
