Scottish Women in Sport Week 2022 | Living with Endometriosis

UofG Sport is proud to support Scottish Women & Girls in Sport Week 2022. In the first of two podcast specials tackling conditions that women in sport face, former GUSA President Jessica Woodcock interviews two female athletes about their experiences of living with endometriosis. Isla Short is a professional cross-country cyclist who recently competed in the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games, and is also a UofG alumnus and former UofG Sport bursar. Tracylee McKigen is a gym owner, fitness instructor and former UofG Sport Active Lifestyles teacher. Both of our guests have been diagnosed with endometriosis, a condition that effects the tissue of the womb, ovaries and fallopian tubes. As periods and reproductive issues are still seen as a taboo subject in the sporting world, we had an open discussion about the impact this condition has on female athletes. This includes training, pain management and the importance of an early diagnosis.
