As a parent, the role of sport in your kids' lives is for their enjoyment and the wonderful teaching opportunities it provides. Coaches need to carry this view too. The win-at-all-costs mentality is destructive. Sure, it can often produce short term results, but at what cost?
"I joined Nike because I wanted to be the best female athlete, ever. Instead, I was emotionally and physically abused by a system designed by Alberto and endorsed by Nike," says Mary Cain. https://t.co/CzGsVRQD0m
This was a long time coming. For years, I felt broken and alone- I waited, yet no one reach out to help.
Now I am ok. But the system isn’t. And I can’t stay silent.
This was hard to share, so thanks @lindsaycrouse & @nytimes for all your support. ❤️

There are 3 types of people while passing another runner:
- head down, avoid all eye contact
- courtesy smile/head nod
- overly enthusiastic wave
