Using today's technology and tools, it is now possible to understand, assess, and train this sixth sense rather than just hope it magically appears.

On the face of it, women's sport is on the rise, garnering more attention and grassroots involvement than ever before. However, the truth is that in many respects progress is stalling, or even falling back. Sharron Davies is no stranger to battling the routine sexism the sporting world.
