I’m rewarding Grey’s for the 5th time (if that says anything about my mental state) but I will skip the one where they sing Chasing Cars EVERY SINGLE TIME🥴

[Kyra Jefferson @kyruhjeff]

It’s very weird the very same people who judge, degrade, and belittle athletes based on their performances are the very same ones speaking on the value of mental health. Caring about it doesn’t seem to start until it’s too late, be better humans now.

[CITIUS MAG @CitiusMag]

Devastating and heartbreaking news for the track and field community.

3x Olympic medalist, 2x World championship gold medalist and 2011 NCAA champion Tori Bowie has died at 32 years old.

What I wouldn’t give to have understood this concept from an early age... the power of YET. 💪
