In the last 4 years, I normalized psychologically abusive coaching. In return, I witnessed my teammates starve, leave our school, and/or seriously injure at an alarming rate. I am done being silent. I have no tolerance for @NCAA coaches who treat female athletes as disposable.
Have you seen this woman or vehicle?
Eliza Fletcher was abducted this morning in midtown Memphis while running.
She was forced into a vehicle. There is no known direction of travel.

I said to my wife "Do you think anyone will commit suicide because they could not get an abortion?"
She instantly replied "yes."
Then she added "there will be all those boyfriends and husbands that murder them because they couldn't get one too" and that shook my fucking world.
A 49 year old, constitutional right to have bodily autonomy is overturned and pro-runners are still posting photos of themselves like “feeling great about this race! Go tune in on NBC tomorrow!”
"I felt like I hadn’t quite run to the best of my potential yet & I felt like I still had unaccomplished goals...It was really like, I had goals that I hadn’t accomplished, but if I got the chance to, I could."

Just want to emphasize that not just women will be impacted by this ruling.
Every person with a uterus will be, including non-binary and trans folks.
Let’s not erase the reality that many people – across all genders – will also be losing access to safe abortion!
There is an absolute crisis in the NCAA. Too many young adults are dying as a DIRECT result of the trauma the NCAA causes elite athletes. I’ve seen the way that our current system of college sports exploits and harms us, and I’m sick of it.
My heart hurts.
Addressing mental health is needed but not addressing & not confronting the very system that causes this mental strain and harm to athletes is the central problem. NCAA how many more stories & how many more deaths does it take for y’all to make actual change?
Maybe an unpopular opinion, but I’m never thinking about dropping the other Americans in a race. Nor will I ever post “X place American” because in my mind there’s no race within the race.
@ryanhall3 showed me you have your best races when you encourage those around you.
@PlantaeP The investigation held there was “not enough” to prove he had done anything wrong. Not sure what the threshold for proving that someone was abusive, but it’s got to be pretty fucking high. The investigation was publicly determined false by our school president before it was over.
