    From the Olympics to Formula One – The Story of Angela Cullen
    MAY 15, 2019

    Hintsa Stories
    Introducing the people behind the method

    Performance Coach Angela Cullen, Hintsa Performance
    The people of Hintsa Performance all share a passion for a better life
    and better performance. We would like you to meet them. This time
    Performance Coach Angela Cullen shares her story, from working for the
    UK Olympic team and cycling across South America to being the first ever
    female performance coach in the Formula One races.

    Tell us a little about your background. How did you first get interested
    in human physique and biomechanics?
    I was born and grew up in New Zealand, famous for outdoor activities. I
    have always had a passion for all sports. I was hugely competitive and
    got involved in everything from netball, soccer, cricket, volleyball, basketball, to swimming athletics. If there was a sports team, I wanted
    to be part of it. But it was field hockey that I represented New Zealand
    in from the ages of 15 to 21. This was my first introduction to high-performance sports and human performance.

    Being hugely competitive I have always loved the challenge of getting
    the best out of myself which was soon to translate into getting the best
    out of others. During school, I loved maths, sciences and the practical
    nature of subjects such as physiology, anatomy and physics, so when I
    started university a degree in health science and physiotherapy was a
    natural choice. It combined my love of science and my passion for sport
    and interest in body performance.

    After I graduated with a desire to see the world I travelled to the UK.
    My first private practice job was working near Crystal Palace in London,
    UK’s hive of world-class track and field athletes. I’m hugely grateful
    for this opportunity which fast-tracked me into the world of
    high-performance sports. Initially, my work was primarily with 100 and 200-meter sprinters, although I worked across all track and field
    athletes, endurance athletes and the British triathlon team.

    You could say that the 100 and 200-meter sprinters are the F1 of
    athletics. And my role was like the engineer or mechanic working closely
    with the athlete; fine-tuning their body to optimise their performance
    in terms of speed, power, mobility and control. This was an amazing
    opportunity to learn about achieving ultimate body performance. I worked alongside some of the world’s best physiotherapists with some of the world’s best athletes. Working trackside before, during and after
    training sessions, constantly monitoring, mobilising and adjusting the
    body to achieve maximal speeds.

    Athletes are acutely aware of their own body. If something was tight or
    ‘not right’, speed and power could be lost or maximum loading could
    result in muscle pulls or tears and injury. I travelled with the British Olympic team to the Athens Olympics where we won 4×100 meter relay and
    was involved in multiple UK Athletics and British triathlon world championships, training camps and competitions. This was an amazing
    opportunity to develop my skills in physiotherapy and human performance.


    How did you first hear about Hintsa and how did you end up working as a Performance coach?

    In 2006 I spent the year cycle touring South America, riding my bike
    from Ushuaia, the southernmost tip of the world, all the way to the top
    of Columbia. Since it was pre-smartphones and pre-GPS times, we used one topographical map of entire South America to guide us 1,500km up the
    continent. We crossed the Andes 14 times, cycling at heights of 5,000
    meters, traversed the Atacama desert and the salt flats of Bolivia. Five
    times we were forced to ride over 250km in one day in search of food and
    water.

    This was an incredibly humbling experience. I met the most beautiful and generous people in South America. During our travels, I had time to
    reflect on my ideals of health and wellbeing. Sleeping in tents, we
    showered and ate at truck stops. It was during this time I realised I
    wanted to develop my skills in human performance beyond physiotherapy. I returned to New Zealand and took up a role as a senior advisor of
    performance services with high-performance sports New Zealand.
    Developing support services for our Olympic and performance athletes
    challenged us to really understand the needs of our elite athletes. One
    of our initiatives was implementing Performance Coaches, roles where one
    person was responsible for managing the holistic wellbeing of our
    Olympic athletes.

    Quantifying Wellbeing
    In our new white paper we introduce five perspectives for assessing
    employee wellbeing initiatives and a practical management tool for leaders.

    In 2014 I met Pete McKnight (an ex EIS college of mine) on a ski field
    in the French Alps and learnt about Dr Aki Hintsa‘s work with Ethiopian runners, Olympic athletes and F1 drivers. Hintsa’s model of wellbeing
    and philosophy, that ‘performance is a by-product of wellbeing’,
    resonated with me and reflected my beliefs and ideals of understanding
    human performance. It was then that I decided to come on board as a physiotherapist and Performance Coach at Hintsa Performance.

    At Hintsa you currently work in the world of Formula One. What has been
    the biggest surprise in working within motorsports?
    The biggest surprise is the fact I am working in motorsport.
    Historically the drivers have had male strength-based trainers as their
    coach and I think I was the first physio and definitely the first woman
    to be involved.

    However, my most outstanding observation has been the importance of team dynamics. This really struck me when I first came on board. In a way, it
    is similar to a game of cricket, but on a larger scale. The team is made
    up of many world-class individuals, each having such a significantly
    different and important role to play that has a direct impact on the
    team’s outcome. I have played in many team sports where you tend to rely
    on one or two key members but in motorsport, every member has to be
    firing at the top of their game, every day, every weekend or literally
    the wheels will fall off.

    What kind of differences and similarities have you noticed between the different high-performance sports that you have worked in?
    The intensity of motorsports in terms of ‘load’ – both mental and physical – for the drivers across a race weekend and across a season is
    far greater than I had experienced in any other sport. Olympic sports
    have periodised programmes over a season where they may peak once or
    twice for key events, but F1 requires ultimate performance, 21 times a
    year! It’s incredibly demanding. Insane travel commitments, coupled with
    a barrage of media demands adds more load on top of the obvious physical
    and mental demands on the body from driving at such great speeds. It is
    for these reasons that a strong focus on wellbeing is critical to
    sustaining performance throughout the entire F1 season.

    What gives you the most sense of accomplishment in your work?
    I am a perfectionist, but a realist at the same time. When I feel I have
    given 100 per cent over a race weekend I am happy. My job is
    multifaceted and there are many things I do over a race weekend to
    ensure things run smoothly. Dr Hintsa’s words “nobody is perfect, but we can all be a little better today than we were yesterday” guide me
    through difficult race weekends. I love problem-solving and F1 race
    weekends throw many challenges at me. Solving them efficiently and
    effectively gives me my greatest satisfaction.

    Your work in the F1 includes a lot of travelling. How do you take care
    of your own health and wellbeing during the busy season?
    I love to run and thankfully it is a sport I can do anywhere. I love to
    get out and it allows me to see some of the amazing places we visit. I
    consider this time with myself my ‘meditation’. When I’m too tired to
    run or short on time, a quick hotel HIT (high-intensity training)
    session is perfect. I recently also introduced a daily yoga and
    meditation to my routines for quieting the mind and unwinding from a
    busy day.

    What are you most looking forward to in the near future, in your work or outside work?
    I love my job and I look forward to every day and every race. And at the
    end of the race weekend, I look forward to returning home and spending
    time with my family. Maintaining this work-life balance is critical to
    my own sustainable performance. In the long term, I look forward to
    continuing my cycle trip from Colombia, through the Americas to Alaska,
    Russia, Asia, Europe and Africa, but that’s on hold now until I retire.

    10 OF THE BEST BOOKS ABOUT WOMEN AND THEIR CARS (OR BIKES!)
    NOVEMBER 1, 2021 BY ELIZABETH BLACKSTOCK

    books about women

    GET INSPIRED BY SOME OF THE COOLEST WOMEN TO EVER RACE CARS (AND
    MOTORCYCLES).
    Women have been racing cars and bikes since cars and bikes first became available to the general public, and they’ve been totally unstoppable
    since. But history can occasionally forget these headstrong women who
    forged their own paths where none existed before—and that’s why it takes
    a book or two to bring them back into car culture’s consciousness.

    Today, April 23, is World Book Day. So check out one of these incredible stories that highlight the incredible achievements of women in the
    racing world.

    RELATED: WHAT DRIVES HER: FOR NASCAR MARKETING CHIEF JILL GREGORY,
    REMAKING RACING AND FINDING NEW FANS
    A LIFE AT FULL THROTTLE BY JANET GUTHRIE
    Janet Guthrie is one of the coolest women to ever race a car. Born into
    a family of pilots, she received her own pilot’s license at a young age,
    was one of the few women to earn an engineering degree at the University
    of Michigan in the 1960s, and went on to live out of the back of her car
    as she trailered a race car to local tracks. But she really found her
    stride in the 1970s, when she became the first woman to ever qualify for
    the Indianapolis 500, one of the most prestigious races in the world in
    an era where women were barred from the garage area. She then went on to
    earn what is still one of the highest finishes in both the Indy 500 and
    in NASCAR overall.

    Guthrie’s book is one of my favorites. She’s incredibly articulate and tells a beautiful story, and if you’ve ever wondered about what it took
    to be a female driver in the 1960s and 70s.

    LONE RIDER: THE FIRST BRITISH WOMAN TO MOTORCYCLE AROUND THE WORLD BY
    ELSPETH BEARD
    When Elspeth Beard decided she wanted to ride around the world on her motorcycle, she knew it would be difficult, but her biography clues you
    in on just how hard. On her journey, she suffered a miscarriage, broke
    several bones, ran out of money, lost her passport, fell in and out of
    love, made roadside repairs with makeshift tools, and ate a dog that she
    ran over. Her trip is exhausting to read about—but it’s a beautiful look
    at what it took for a woman to make a solo worldwide journey several
    decades ago.

    THE BUGATTI QUEEN: IN SEARCH OF A MOTOR RACING LEGEND BY MIRANDA SEYMOUR
    Hellé Nice was a cabaret dancer turned race car driver who raced
    Bugattis around the world in the 1920s and 1930s. Her life story is an exceptional one; she was born to a relatively poor family in the middle
    of nowhere, then moved to Paris as a teenager to begin forging a life on
    her own. She danced until she injured her knee in a skiing accident,
    then moved on to racing cars to gain her next thrill. And she put the
    male drivers of her era on notice with her consistently impressive performances.

    Her story, though, isn’t a happy one. After World War II, Nice was
    accused of collaborating with the Nazis during their occupation of
    France. There’s no hard evidence either way, but Nice lived out the rest
    of her life on the meager funds she had left, ultimately dying in
    obscurity. Seymour’s story has essentially brought this jazz age legend
    back from the dead.

    RELATED: OFF ROAD, ALL ELECTRIC, WOMEN REQUIRED: MEET EXTREME E, THE
    ELECTRIC RACING SERIES THAT WILL CHANGE MOTORSPORTS
    DRIVEN: A PIONEER FOR WOMEN IN MOTORSPORT – AN AUTOBIOGRAPHY BY ROSEMARY SMITH
    Rosemary Smith is one of the world’s most successful female rally
    drivers, and her autobiography is exceptional. She goes into detail
    about how difficult a time she had making her way as a woman in the
    sport in the 1960s, and she touches on one of the facets many racers
    ignore in their books: her personal life. She details the impact of
    divorce and how it also tarnished her racing career, and she also gives
    her perspective on the revitalization of her memory in recent years,
    which resulted in her having a shot at driving a modern-day Formula One
    car. It’s a glorious story for anyone wondering how a woman who studied fashion could become an exceptional rally racer.

    FASTER: HOW A JEWISH DRIVER, AN AMERICAN HEIRESS, AND A LEGENDARY CAR
    BEAT HITLER’S BEST BY NEAL BASCOMB
    While Faster involves several different drivers, one of the prominent
    movers in the book is Lucy Schell, the American heiress in the book’s
    title. She and her husband moved to France to help him pursue his racing career, but she also partook in the sport and also used her funds to
    build her own racing team. She hired René Dreyfus as her driver, a
    Jewish driver who had been effectively excommunicated from the racing
    world ahead of World War II—and together, the two won a race against the dominant German teams. This is one of the best books about cars you’ll
    ever read.

    INCLUSIVE FUTURE FOR MOTORSPORT
    BREAKING THE LIMIT: ONE WOMAN’S MOTORCYCLE JOURNEY THROUGH NORTH AMERICA
    BY KAREN LARSEN
    Karen Larsen is another woman who decided her life needed a change and
    did so by climbing on her motorcycle and riding across North America.
    Along the way, she meets her biological family, makes friends with other
    bikers who are impressed at her audacity, attends the iconic Sturgis
    motorcycle meetup, and ultimately makes it to the wide open roads of
    Alaska. If this book doesn’t make you want to buy a vehicle, abandon
    your responsibilities, and take off on the adventure of a lifetime, I
    don’t know what to tell you!

    WILLIAMS: A DIFFERENT KIND OF LIFE BY VIRGINIA WILLIAMS
    Williams is a bit of a heartbreaking book. Sir Frank Williams was a
    former racing driver who developed his own iconic Formula One team that
    still runs today, aptly named Williams. But Frank suffered a
    debilitating car accident that left him in a wheelchair for the rest of
    his life. His wife Virginia was then left to not only care for her
    husband and daughter but also take up control of the team. This book
    serves as her memoir of an incredibly difficult period of her life, but
    it’s an important book to really understand the various facets that come
    into play regarding running a racing team.

    LINDA VAUGHN: THE FIRST LADY OF MOTORSPORTS BY ROB KINNAN AND LINDA VAUGHN Linda Vaughn is something else. While not a racer herself, she loved the
    sport and became one of its first promotional girls for Hearst shifters.
    That said, she was a hugely respected member of the community because
    she essentially created a career for herself where there wasn’t one
    before. Her photo-heavy autobiography is full of tales about racing’s
    golden age, and it’s an amazingly fun read.

    GLORIA – A LIFETIME MOTORCYCLIST: 75 YEARS ON TWO WHEELS AND STILL
    RIDING BY GLORIA STRUCK
    When Gloria Tramontin Struck climbed on a motorcycle for the first time,
    it was in 1941, and women simply didn’t do that. It was unheard of. But
    that didn’t stop Gloria, who spent the next 75 years of her life on two wheels. Her autobiography celebrates the freedom of the open road as
    well as the prejudices she had to overcome to get there. When you wrap
    up this book, you’ll be so inspired to take on your own seemingly unattainable goals that nothing will be able to stop you.

    GIRLS AUTO CLINIC GLOVE BOX GUIDE BY PATRICE BANKS
    We’ve talked about Patrice Banks a few times before on A Girls Guide to
    Cars, but she continues to be our muse. In this handy book, Banks
    outlines the things women need to know about automotive maintenance.
    That doesn’t have to mean changing your own oil, but it’s all about
    being informed and making empowered decisions at the mechanic’s shop.
    It’s a must-have for every woman who owns or drives a car.

    From the Olympics to Formula One – The Story of Angela Cullen

    Hintsa Stories
    Introducing the people behind the method

    Thanks for posting that.

    Jamie Chadwick, despite being encouraged to publicly foresee an F1 ride, has made some intelligent comments about women's physiology and cars. [I don't know how much an F1 car is 'built around' a driver, other than a seat fitting and pedal adjustment.]
    Chadwick asserted that the plane angles at which a typical woman's legs/knees, and arms/elbows operate effectively -- aren't easy to achieve in a typical formula car which has (necessarily) evolved around a man. Pedal pivot heights and angles, and hip-
    to-feet angle/distance are crucial to men and women but are not the same. Even the thickness of the steering wheel and its buttons and its vertical tilt have 'ideal' settings which are different between most men and most women.

    Chadwick commented [perhaps with some frustration] that because of these fundamentals, 'more gym workouts' for women will not decrease the discrepancy.

    BTW, her three consecutive W Series championships and the accompanying 1.5 million cash, have not resulted in even an F3 invitation. But what about those dozen or more F3 pilots who never finished in the top ten in ANY of the nine 2022 F3 races?

    Does an F3 team team ever say "Er, we're giving your ride to a three-time champion in another series, who won 6 out of 7 races in 2022, and won 4 of 8 races in 2021, with three 2nds and a third."

    2022, and won 4 of 8 races in 2021, with three 2nds and a third."

    ?

    I know a few women racing drivers and I think they'd call most of that
    Chadwick said nonsense.

    The "plane angles" at which arms and legs operate? Please.

    Pedal pivot heights are at the floor, and I'm sure every F1 team places
    the footpad ON the pedal at varying height depending on the preferences
    of their individual driver.

    Honestly, I'd like to see where she is supposed to have said any of that.

    OK. If that's true WHERE was it said?

    Certainly most successful sports coaches now recognize and work with
    the the differences between men's and women's muscular and skeletal formation. I frequently wish I noted and saved and cited everything,
    but I don't.

    There are differences between men's and women's musculoskeletal systems.
    Sure.

    Are those differences large enough to require an F1 car to be redesigned
    for them?

    No.

    I found some of her quotes:

    'How can we make sure there are no restrictions on how close the pedals
    are so you can get the right leverage?'

    There aren't any. There are restrictions on how far AHEAD the pedals can
    be placed for safety, but there is no restriction on how far back the
    pedals can be placed.

    Yuki Tsunonda and Jamie Chadwick are both 5'3" and they seem to manage
    to put the pedals where he can reach them.

    "In Formula Two and Formula Three, the steering wheels are all identical
    and they have a thick grip. How can we make them thinner because women's
    hands are not necessarily that big?"

    How, you say?

    How about because every F1 steering wheel is a bespoke piece, not an
    identical piece in an identical car?

    Men's 85th percentile hip breadth: 14.28"

    <https://multisite.eos.ncsu.edu/www-ergocenter-ncsu-edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/18/2016/06/Anthropometric-Detailed-Data-Tables.pdf>

    So you really think that 0.13" is going to be a problem?

    The tallest F1 drivers this year were Alex Albon, George Russsell,
    Estaban Ocon, and Nicolas Latifi, all at 6'1" tall. That's somewhere
    between the 90th and 95th percentiles for height. So for a rough
    approximation, their hip measurements would be in that area too:

    That's something greater than 14.5" and 14.82"

    And somehow, they manage to fit those hips into an F1 cockpit.

    And those numbers are above the 98th percentile for women.

    This is not some secret of driving that only a few people in the world know.

    I don't know better than everyone...

    ...but I clearly did what you did not:

    THINK ABOUT IT!

    ...who is no taller than Jamie Chadwick?


    How hard is it to know that while women's hips are larger in relation to their height than men's hips...

    ...men are generally larger overall?

    If that's not sufficient argument simply based on logic:

    Women's 85th percentile hip breadth: 14.41"

    Men's 85th percentile hip breadth: 14.28"

    <https://multisite.eos.ncsu.edu/www-ergocenter-ncsu-edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/18/2016/06/Anthropometric-Detailed-Data-Tables.pdf>

    So you really think that 0.13" is going to be a problem?

    The tallest F1 drivers this year were Alex Albon, George Russsell,
    Estaban Ocon, and Nicolas Latifi, all at 6'1" tall. That's somewhere
    between the 90th and 95th percentiles for height. So for a rough approximation, their hip measurements would be in that area too:

    That's something greater than 14.5" and 14.82"

    And somehow, they manage to fit those hips into an F1 cockpit.

    No, same height. That's different.

    You think that makes her hands a significantly different size, sunshine?

    Tsunoda is 5'3" and that's 1st percentile for males.

    Chadwick is 5'3" and that's 35th percentile for females.

    The 1st percentile for male hand length is 6.8"

    The 35th percentile for female hands is 6.95"

    I'll say it again:

    This information is easily found.

    <https://multisite.eos.ncsu.edu/www-ergocenter-ncsu-edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/18/2016/06/Anthropometric-Detailed-Data-Tables.pdf>

    Are there differences in proportion between men and women of the same
    height?

    Obviously.

    Are they large enough to matter?

    Nope.

    That's something greater than 14.5" and 14.82"

    And somehow, they manage to fit those hips into an F1 cockpit.

    And those numbers are above the 98th percentile for women.
