Emma Ross's 2024 biography
Meet Emma Ross
Emma Ross is a trailblazing leader in sports science and a staunch advocate for women’s empowerment in sport. As the Head of Physiology at the English Institute of Sport, Emma’s mandate included nurturing Team GB talent across the hugely successful Rio and Tokyo Olympics.
Rather than solely focusing on marginal gains, Emma embarked on an extensive research journey, delving into the experiences of women in elite sports. Her findings revealed a fundamental oversight: the neglect and underutilization of the female athlete’s unique physiology. Determined to drive change, Emma spearheaded groundbreaking initiatives aimed at reshaping the landscape of women’s sports.
Today, Emma is celebrated as a sought-after voice and consultant in women’s sports, championing inclusivity, equity, and recognition of the female athlete’s full potential. Despite her own background as a former rugby player and avid marathon runner, Emma recognises the systemic barriers within cultural, medical, and academic frameworks that must be dismantled to pave the way for women’s success in sports.
With unwavering dedication and a passion for progress, Emma Ross continues to lead the charge towards a more equitable and empowering future for females worldwide.
Emma is part of The Wellness Women trio, alongside Dr. Bella Smith, the NHS GP, and Baz Moffat, the Athlete. These incredibly knowledgeable and informative industry experts educate us on the importance of women’s health and associated high performance. They share engaging, accurate information that’s based on scientific research and practice-based evidence. The Wellness Women aim to educate and empower women, and those who support them, with better knowledge of female anatomy, physiology, and psychology. They will hand over the confidence and tools so anyone can do something impactful with that knowledge.
