Hey parents,
The risk for teenage girls is real. Overtraining and under-fuelling are more common than most people think.
Those at highest risk are sports that value aesthetics, weight, or endurance... things like running, gymnastics, martial arts, boxing, rowing, swimming, and dance.
But with football now demanding year-round training, multiple matches, and high fitness expectations, we’re seeing more girls showing the same early warning signs — constant fatigue, missed periods, and recurring injuries.
It’s not about effort or discipline.
It’s about energy availability... and when the body doesn’t have enough fuel to match its output, it starts to shut down the very systems that make an athlete strong.
That’s why awareness matters.
The Female Athlete Performance Quiz helps you spot the early warning signs — low mood, fatigue, disrupted sleep, irregular periods, or slow recovery — before they turn into something serious.
It only takes a couple of minutes to complete, and the results could save your daughter years of frustration, injury, or worse.
