Episode 108: Sam Moore Women Specific Training Design

July 15, 2021
Sam Moore is an applied sport scientist who recently joined University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill's Exercise and Sport Science graduate school as a research fellow. Prior to Carolina, Sam was with the NC State Wolfpack from 2019-2021 as the Director of Sport Science and Assistant Strength & Conditioning Coach.

After two season ending knee surgeries during her dual sport collegiate athletic career, Moore was drawn to the starkly different experience entering the “real-world” as a former female athlete compared to that of male athletes. This was the inception of what would later establish her as the topic expert in the field of female athlete physiology in the pursuit of gender equity in collegiate women’s sports.

As the first woman to serve as a Director of Sport Science in NCAA, Sam implemented a revolutionary and evidence informed framework of women’s specific training design based on the hormonal landscape of the Wolfpack female athletes. Sam has presented at major conferences on topics ranging from metabolic and performance effects of female sex hormones to bigger pictures issues of social and gender justice for collegiate athletes. For the first time ever, she is giving unprecedented access into the proprietary framework she uses to train female athletes.
