Emily Hall enjoys building relationships with athletes as it enables her to better support them and, from time to time, when necessary, call them out.

“You have to be able to read your athletes and know your athletes,” says the Strength & Conditioning Coach, who works with various women’s teams at Queensland Rugby League, including the U19s.

“[You need to] have those relationships with your athletes so you can say the right thing or make the right call in those situations,” she tells this Keiser Series Podcast.

In episode two of this series, we speak to Hall, a proud Wiradjuri woman, about topics including:

• Helping young athletes to juggle sport and other commitments [7:40];
• Enabling athletes to develop a sense of responsibility and autonomy [10:00];
• Why it is important for an S&C to show up at 100% even when athletes are flagging [16:00];
• Supporting athletes of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander backgrounds [21:00].
