What Women Athletes Need to Unlock Their Full Potential | Kate Ackerman | TED
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 бер 2023
- As a sports scientist, athlete and director of the Female Athlete Program at Boston Children's Hospital, Kate Ackerman understands that women athletes need more than pretty sports bras or new sneakers to achieve peak performance -- they need true investment committed to their health and well-being. Ackerman advocates for a long overdue sports medical system that's dedicated to the study and development of women athletes, supporting lifelong success on and off the field.

I have got really into ultra running and it's so frustrating and disappointing to see the lack of information or research on women's health wrt to ultra running. E.g. NSAID's but what if you've got your period during the race? For me naproxen is the only thing that works. One time I was at an info session for a 24hr race and asked, 'What about toilets? Where do we put our menstrual products?' And the guy just shrugged. They should have spent some time explaining women's issues during the session - esp. explaining the increased risk of TSS if using tampons during the race, and also the risk of Female Athlete Triad, which is especially dangerous because ultra running takes such a toll on your bones+joints. I met so many girls who lost their periods and didn't even know it was abnormal.
Your message is great, and more thoughtful
A little disappointed, I feel the title was deceiving. I came here cause I thought we were going to get introduced to new research of what female athletes need to unlock their full potential. However, it was nothing more than a rally for support - which is fine. However nothing of note was revealed in regards to the title.
Nice
Hi
athlete and olympics are tended for variety of sports, sport has to be direct. Gold medal on olympics or athletic look is an extra, if we do sport its because you are one of kind
are you mikasa's relative? Since you've got "Ackerman" last name
💪💪💪
Step 1. Be born a man
Step 2. Try their best but never reach the top
Step 3. Say they identity as a woman
Victory
didn't work for Laurel Hubbard
@@Sareaesque See Step 2, "she" didn't start lifting until after "she" started transitioning.
But to your main point, "she" went from never competing to get gold in "her" first ever international event, the 2017 Gold Coast. From there "she" picked up two more international event gold medals. Next "she" went now to be a medal contender at the Olympics in just four years.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙏🏻🌹✨🙏🏻
Great talk but why does she need a male professor to "let her do" her research?
Look at the sunlight warming the day. The light you see has traveled over ninety-million miles to greet you. These rays arrive, one after another, every instant to brighten the world around you. But if you were to hold up a convex lens, you would experience even more of its power.
Imagine harnessing the power of your mind like a convex lens. Like cars merging when lanes are reduced, you can concentrate your thoughts together.
What could you switch off today so that all your power might converge like rays of the sun brought into a focus?
Seamen!
Why do they keep talking over her? Cmon boston
We're still allowed to use the "term" woman?
Good one
Yup!
An audience that cares
Maybe to start, females shouldn't be forced to compete against male athletes in the name of diversity and inclusion
That isn't even remotely what's being discussed, here. Sit down.
@@Mitsuraga I said to start. Do the rest later.
That doesn't justify your position. That's an awful place to start.
But question is " What is a woman ? "
Lia Thomas figured out the answer to this questions already.
Be good at sports? Just as how she was within the top 10 when competing in the Man Division.
@@ProfessionalBadPerson Fair, but he now has the ability to compete against women. This allows him to have a chance in every race to attain greatness on the podium. Just like the video game GTA he found the tank cheat code that allows him to compete in an arena where the rules weren't designed to account for having a tank that was built bigger than all the other cars in the game.
@@ProfessionalBadPerson yeah being top 10 in MENS sports doesn’t help his case much
@@AustinF516 Sorry that's how sports works sweaty. It's decided by a mixture of skill, training and innate physical ability. Is it unfair on the other men that Michael Phelps is a dolphin?
@@paulhillbeats I think it does actually, because the narrative that you lot use is that she was bad at swimming before and used transitioning as a way to beat women, but she was as capable in the men's division.
They need the procedure that guy got in Get Out
Ask Lia Thomas.
20 years of testosterone apparently
The answer is steroids
basic, ya know you got your test uh, dbol. its just basic stuff.
One thing women athletes need to do to unlock their full potential is have men pretending to be women competing as women.... 10 years of that and you won't have a woman competing in women's sports anywhere!
Congratulations whammen you played yourselves. Just remember, any vote for any Democrat is a vote for men in women's sports. Not to mention men in your bathrooms, and your dressing rooms!
Good job!
"Anorexia is a dysmorphic disorder that leads to people killing themselves." This is why we try to help people with anorexia overcome the delusions (Can't link source (thanks youtube for suppressing actual science). Mesh terms are anorexia nervosa delusion pubmed) which are at the root of their disease. Whether they are overvalued ideals (I want to be thin) or strict delusions (I'm fat).
What we DON'T do is feed into those delusions by encouraging them to go even further. Recommending so-called transgender surgery to a patient who believes they are a different gender, is like recommending liposuction, eating less, weight loss, and appetite-suppressing drugs to an anorexic with less than 4% body fat.
It is exactly the opposite of what that patient needs.
In my view, transgender people fall into three camps. The first is the healthy variety. The least common. These are people who realize that they are what they are, and they choose to live as another gender and are willing to accept the inconvenience, pain, potentially shortened life due to hormones, and public scrutiny. I have two friends like this. I was at their respective weddings. But neither of them has any delusions about what they are. In a conversation with the FTM, she told me that she understands she is very probably shortening her life by 10 to 20 years because of the combination of testosterone and estrogen blockers. She was mentally stable, and happy before her transition. And she is mentally stable and happy now. That is a nondelusional person who recognizes that they are posing as another gender and that's how they want to live their life. And I support that in those cases.
The second variety is the delusional. The people who believe they actually have changed from female to male or male to female. That is delusion in the face of reality. And that should not be celebrated or encouraged, and no surgery or hormone therapy should be given in that case. Those people should be treated for their mental illness. The same way that you treat someone suffering from anorexia nervosa.
The third group are transtrenders. These are people who are rolling with the trend. Many of them may overlap with the delusional category, but that's a case-by-case. Many of these people are very young, under the influence of public trends. Your typical young person who's going through a crisis of identity. Which is something that every young person goes through as they grow from a child into an adult. The problem is now you've got this entire industry targeting these people telling them that their normal adolescent angst is actually gender dysmorphia and then push and encourage them to follow this path of transgenderism. Frankly that is evil. It isn't like becoming Emo or goth, which are entirely reversible conditions. This leads to permanent physiological and psychological damage.
Currently, the left is engaging in an all fronts War to influence the second and third type to grab onto transgenderism as their flag. And then fly that flag and hate anyone who attempts to actually help them. This is an extension of the prior push, which was more subtle, where they push adolescents into adopting lgb Lifestyles, and then set up the straw man that conservatives are their enemy because they're gay. But conservative person doesn't care how you live your life as long as you're not hurting others. The line gets drawn when you start pushing particular lifestyles on children or the mentally ill who can't reasonably make decisions.
For the second and third type, the delusional and transtrenders, psychological and or psychiatric should be the approach. Not encouraging them to delve ever deeper into delusion.
First, face what you really are. Get healthy in that space. Then, as a consenting adult who is not delusional, if you wish to pretend to be another gender, then that's your choice as an adult.
I draw another line at being forced to call someone a woman, who is not. I will be polite, As Long As You Are. But I will not pull punches on the facts of the case. And if you decide to try to insist that I call you a woman, when you are not. I will refuse. In the history of humankind no man has ever become a woman. That's reality.
Let people live their lives. Goddamn.
Oh please, cases like Laurel Hubbard prove that claim as nothing more than hot air
Weird, I thought the men were trying to become seahorses as stay at home Dad's.
Testosterone.
I loved your speech, but its not only female athletes who crashed and burned and developed eating disorders during Covid. The information you gain from your research doesn‘t just apply to female athletes, it applies to all women everywhere. Even if we are not trying to make an Olympic team, we all would like to understand our bodies, puberty and menopause better, maximise our health and fitness potential. Women top the statistics in practically every autoimmune disease out there and it has to be linked to our hormones, and i can‘t help thinking much of it could be avoided if we knew better how to help our bodies heal from stress or illness. The information available to women today and the help provided by gynaecologists on puberty, pms, fibroids, menopause is so incredibly lacking its shocking. Both governments and insurance companies should be throwing money at you, as your research would result in preventative health care, as ill women and women unable to reach their full potential, costs the economy and insurance companies hundreds of thousands every year and its not in the financial interest of pharmaceuticals to invest in preventative health care ( with the exception of vaccines), they are concerned with only curative. Going forward preventative health care needs to be funded by governments and health insurance companies and your research I believe could greatly advance this area for all women. I wish you the very best in your endeavours and hope as a non athlete to read a lot more about your research in the very near future.

They’re gonna need this when the Tranz Mode hits real women will then opt out of all sports their motto is the future is male 🫣🙈🫣
I wonder if she is related to Mikasa or levi?
Kind of useless information as more and more women will be competing against males that are cosplaying women, lol.
They need an eggplant obvs.
Go brandon!
What do women truly need to unlock their potential? Well one thing for sure it's not a penis.
Real Women have 2 XX Chromosomes
Except when you test for that you find that many Cis-women athletes turn out to be intersex!!!! Least exclusionary transphobe
Technically it's more of a lack of Y chromosomes, but you're right.
This is silly, given it applies to perhaps 0.01% of women athletes. A typical woman (or man) doesn't need "to unlock their full potential," they need to get off the couch and run or lift weights or do yoga, or fence, or do taichi...
What exactly are you contributing here ?
@@tany2191 Common sense, logic, rationality...normalcy.
@@owlbus14 amazing.
@@owlbus14 no what he said is irrelevant to what she was talking about
My god, the completely unrelated transphobia in these comments.
What women need to realize their full potential is men to stay the heck out of women’s sports.
Why spend more money here when men can choose to be women anytime to dominate women's sport? Heck we could even decide to be women for 10 years to build our sporting careers on women's sport and then later decide that we're men again, get married and retire as men if we choose to.
Real women have ovaries
Intersex aren't women? Yikes!
Boys/Men have An Adams Apple but Girls/Women DO NOT!
Plenty of Cis women have an Adams Apple
A very important message however trans women should've been included in the video, especially considering the attacks on transfem athletes in the U.S.
Be born a man 😅
More trans "women"?
become men
Until a biological male comes and crushes your dreams...
