Eve Muirhead is used to 'doing it for the girls'.
The former curler captivated the nation as she skipped Team GB's women to gold at the Beijing 2022 Olympics on her fourth time of trying.
But the 33-year-old was thrown into a new challenge as Chef de Mission at the 2024 Gangwon Youth Winter Olympics.
Looking around in Korea, Muirhead noted that the lack of female Chefs was evident, a notion which has run deep since the role's inception.
And the Scot was thrilled to be part of that change as gender parity becomes a wider debated topic in sports leadership.
"It was great that we had a female Chef de Mission out there," she said. "You look around the other nations and there's not really that many.
"So for me to feel as supported as I did in that role was really special and I feel like it's something that Team GB do well by getting more women involved in that high performance setting.
"In fact our leadership team out there was about a 50/50 gender split which was great.
"I've often talked about the male dominance in coaches and team leaders in the past and it's great to see the change coming through.
"It's great to know as a female athlete that you can talk to another female about certain things if necessary.
"I did feel like I was doing it for the girls."
Georgina Harland became Team GB's first female Chef de Mission when she took the helm at Beijing 2022 whilst former swimmer Lizzie Simmonds was Chef at the 2022 Banská Bystrica European Youth Olympic Festival.
And with Beijing being the Games in which Muirhead famously stormed to gold on the ice, the curler revealed that she happily leaned on the advice of Harland ahead of Gangwon.
It was a case of women supporting women and eventually, Chef supporting Chef.
"To win that gold with a female Chef leading us was amazing," added Muirhead.
"I spoke quite a bit Georgie ahead of Gangwon and a lot during and after the Games as well actually. She's so much fun and I like her a lot.
"It was great to pick her brains about what the role entailed and get some advice.
"The best thing she said to me was about making those connections with the team leaders and how critical that is. If I had the opportunity to do it again, I think I'd do that even more now."
Muirhead already had the leadership skills as curling skip, but admitted that leading a full team as Chef de Mission was a completely different kettle of fish.
In fact, being thrown into the unknown provided an experience like no other for the Olympic gold medallist.
"When I was there, the time seemed to fly by so quickly and it's only until you get home and step back that you have those," she said.
"It was my first time being a Chef de Mission of course and I did feel like I was throwing myself in the deep end a little bit because it was very unknown.
"But being a Chef is not something you can plan for what you do everyday and every hour - it's one of those roles where things are thrown at you at very short notice and you need to be ready for anything.
"They were great at bringing me into that team and supporting me to be that leader that I needed to be."
With a two-time Olympic medallist as their leader, Team GB athletes had buckets full of advice at every corner as they soared to success in Gangwon.
And Muirhead remembers one specific moment with mixed team curler Callie Soutar that encapsulated her role of guidance and inspiration.
"The stand out moments are when you see that athlete stood on the podium having a smile on their face," she said.
"But it was also when they would come back having not won a medal but they were so happy because they got a personal best and that sense of accomplishment at such a big event.
"You feel like you're a small part of helping them achieve that dream.
"I had a really conversation with Callie, one of the mixed doubles curlers over dinner in the food hall.
"The had their semi-final the next morning and she was saying how nervous she was and asking how I coped with that on the ice.
"We just talked through my experiences and what advice I could give her because I want to share that and help the next generation.
"And it must have done something as they went on to win gold!"
