The turmoil and death of a college athlete who seemed to have it all
I am currently reading the book “What Made Maddy Run” by Kate Fagan. The book tells the true story of Madison Holleran, a young athlete who ended her own life. Fagan took a look inside Holleran’s life by looking at text messages and interviewing friends and family members. Fagan was able to find that Holleran was under immense pressure. This pressure was not from her parents, or even her coach. It was from herself. I think this story is important for many young women who feel as though they need to be perfect. Women often feel the pressure to be attractive, kind, smart, and emotionally stable all at once. This may not relate directly to this class, but it is still an important lesson that all you women should be aware of.
