Not only did @runmarycain have the strength to share her story after years of abuse—she inspired others to come forward with their own. Her determination to #FixGirlsSports and the broken system is inspiring.

Mary Cain was once the fastest American girl. She joined Nike's running team with the hope of becoming the best female athlete ever. But the system meant to help her ultimately put her at risk. https://nyti.ms/2Cm6SkX

Can we continue to elevate HEALTHY approaches to training, food & balance in order to #FixGirlsSports?

Great video about @bmartrun and her daily choices for diet, training, & recovery 👊🏼

As I have always said, the equation is simple:

No drugs.
No starvation.
Just hard work.

Brenda Martinez@bmartrun

I hung out with @munchies to show them a typical day of training as I gear up for the Olympic Trials. Click the link below to see the full video.

In my inbox: “Your my role model eat train look healthy and happy”

This is how we #FixGirlsSports.

Do it the right way. Show it can be done, in a healthy way. Stop promoting unhealthy behaviors & incorporate honesty & transparency.

No drugs.
No starvation.
Just hard work. ❤️

Anti-eating disorders platform to #FixGirlsSports by practicing what I preach: eat if you’re hungry!

Continuing to promote health & wellness all day every day ❤️ yes that’s 2 eggs & a whole avocado.

@Wood_Report I’ve trained with both D1 & NAIA programs... putting in the work is putting in the damn work. We just had more resources in D1.

You can’t fake fitness. You can’t teach discipline and consistency. But you can elevate healthy-minded athletes as role models. #FixGirlsSports

“But although I didn’t have a good coach, I can’t blame him for most of my burgeoning problems at the time.” KB

EXACTLY.

Take responsibility for your actions as an athlete. Your coach isn’t responsible for your poor decisions.

I have many thoughts on how to #FixGirlsSports.
