208 - Becoming A Female Sports Podiatrist with Sarah O'Connell
Sarah O'Connell is the owner of Momentum Foot & Ankle Specialists in Oranmore, Galway, Ireland, and is a lecturer at the National University of Ireland with a focus on orthotic manufacturing.
Sarah was immediately on my radar after seeing her listed as a speaker at the most recent online OSGO Foot & Ankle Show. She talked about Utilising Orthotic Therapy in a Painful Pes Vavus Foot & Ankle.
In this episode, we discuss:
- Her journey into sports podiatry.
- Becoming a sports podiatrist was always her plan; however, she was advised against it.
- Understanding biomechanics did not come easily and was initially very frustrating.
- Having great mentors and having them challenge you.
- Going out of your way to learning the skills you do not have.
- The highs and lows of setting up her own business.
- The importance of having friends in and out of the profession.
"Be inspired by the people you associate with".
Final Tip
Find something you're passionate about in podiatry and specialise in it, and find a mentor that can help carve the path.
You can connect with Sarah via email at momentumfootandankle@gmail.com or on Instagram @momentum_footandankle.

Ep 205: Mentoring Before Money with Blake Withers
Blake Withers works at Achieve Podiatry, located within a speciality sports medicine clinic in Newcastle, NSW.
Most of his patients are musculoskeletal, which feeds into his particular interest in runners and paediatrics. He also works at Newcastle University as a lecturer in Podiatric Biomechanics and as a clinical educator.
Blake was previously on Episode 116: How First-Year Graduates Think In 2020.
In this episode, we discuss:
- Why mentoring should come before money if podiatry is your career and not just a job.
- Your new employer may not be in a position to pay you more. You need to understand how numbers work within a podiatry business.
- Owning up to your mistakes when they happen.
- You are never going to be a weapon immediately after leaving university.
- Experience teaches you how to communicate and ask good questions to your patients.
- The Five Chimps Theory.
- Why you should make an effort to work with more experienced podiatrists in the areas of podiatry you want to know more about or get better at.
- Feedback from your employer improves and sharpens your skills.
When two podiatrists talk about a concept with open dialogue and an open mind to new information, they both benefit.
You can connect with Blake via his Instagram page @TheSportsPodiatryProject, and this is also the name of his podcast.
