Why your body shape doesn't define athletic abilities | Dominique Condo | TEDxDeakin Uni Melbourne
How do body image pressures affect female athletes, their performance, and their wellbeing? In this powerful TEDx talk, Dr Dominique Condo — sports nutritionist and senior lecturer at Deakin University in Melbourne, Australia — explores the hidden impact of body image in sport and why so many women still feel judged more for how they look than what they can achieve.Drawing on years of experience working with elite athletes, Dr Condo reveals how language, culture, and expectations can shape confidence, health, and performance. She shares research-backed insights and practical strategies to create supportive environments where female performance is valued over appearance.
This talk goes beyond sport — offering lessons for workplaces, schools, and families. When we prioritise appearance over ability, we hold people back. Dr Condo challenges us to rethink how we define female performance: not by size or shape, but by strength, resilience, and capability.
Watch now and join the movement to change the narrative for women and girls in sport and beyond.
