Olympic rower Aifric Keogh: We need discussion of periods between coaches and athletes 

'I think there could be more done to educate coaches on the signs to look out for if you think there's a girl on your team suffering, and what is the best way to approach her to talk about it' 

Aifric Keogh says more could be done to enable girls to perform 

This week, Ireland women’s rugby teams announced white shorts are to be scrapped in favour of navy shorts from next season to alleviate player concerns about wearing white during their periods. For Olympic rower Aifric Keogh, it's a change she hopes other sports will adopt. 

"I think it’s a great move and a positive step forward," she says. "It can be stressful enough competing while on you’re period not to mind having to worry about white shorts."
