#083 Disordered eating with Dr Carly Perry
Disordered eating is more common in women’s football than many people realise, yet it is frequently misunderstood, normalised or missed entirely. In this episode, Carolyn Kent is joined by Dr Carly Perry to explore the complex relationship between food, performance and mental health in the women’s game. They unpack the difference between disordered eating and eating disorders, highlighting why this distinction is crucial for appropriate support and intervention. The conversation dives into the cultural and environmental factors that increase vulnerability, including injury, performance pressure, body composition monitoring and the growing influence of social media. Dr Perry shares insights from her research with professional players, revealing how behaviours such as restrictive eating, food control and obsessive tracking can become embedded in football environments. The discussion also explores how short-term performance improvements can reinforce unhealthy patterns, before longer-term physical and psychological consequences emerge. Importantly, this episode offers practical reflections for coaches, support staff and teammates on how to recognise early signs and create safer, more supportive environments. A must-listen for anyone involved in women’s football or athlete wellbeing.

#082 Sex differences after ACL reconstruction with Dr Anne Leung
In this episode of Women’s Football Hub, Carolyn Kent sits down with Dr. Anne Leung to discuss sex differences in outcomes following ACL reconstruction, and what they mean for athletes and clinicians working in women’s sport. Dr. Leung shares insights from her PhD research on quadriceps neuromuscular performance, highlighting key areas where female athletes tend to face greater challenges during and after rehabilitation. From persistent strength deficits and lower return-to-sport rates to psychological readiness and long-term physical activity levels, this episode provides a comprehensive look at what the evidence currently tells us — and where gaps still remain. The conversation also tackles common misconceptions, including the role of hormonal cycles in training, and explores how rehabilitation environments, training history, and potential bias may influence recovery outcomes. Key themes include: Sex differences in strength, function, and return to sport The importance of quadriceps strength in successful recovery Psychological factors including fear, confidence, and readiness Late-stage rehab challenges and long-term health implications The need for individualised but informed rehabilitation approaches This episode is essential for practitioners, athletes, and anyone interested in improving outcomes in women’s sport rehabilitation.
