Eleanor Cardwell was in so much pain, she couldn’t even complete a warm-up without discomfort, and she was not alone among her netball peers. It’s why she thinks it’s mad that sports bras aren’t treated with the same priority as football boots or mouthguards.
International netballer Eleanor Cardwell was in so much pain she couldn’t even complete a warm-up without discomfort.
“So then I was like OK, this is a big issue for everyone. And something that needs to be looked into.”It’s not just an issue of wellbeing. Proper breast support can also affect performance. McGhee said her research found a high prevalence of elite athletes were unsure about what to look for in an adequate sports bra or the importance of them.
If that contributes to a 1 per cent improvement in an individual’s performance, Cardwell noted the benefit would be even greater for a team. McGhee said she wouldn’t recommend a uniform sports bra be introduced to official kits, but rather an allowance given for a proper fitting and bras that suit the individual, as all breasts are different.
