About us: At Optimise Foundation, we believe every girl and woman deserves the opportunity to thrive in sport, supported by new knowledge and understanding of their unique physiology. In 2020, 94% of sports performance research focused on men. Women's bodies, with their menstrual cycles and hormonal fluctuations, were largely overlooked - leaving a critical knowledge gap in grassroots sport. We set up Optimise to change that. We are coaches, health professionals, athletes, teachers, and parents - united by a passion to translate cutting-edge female physiology research into practical action across all sports. Our mission is to empower girls and women with the information and support they deserve to optimise their training, performance, and health. Through consultation, education, and action, we aim to create a world where female athletes of all ages can thrive, and conversations around puberty, periods, and menopause in sport are embraced - not sidelined.
