520 "Fueled by her years as an elite runner and advocate for
women in sports, Lauren Fleshman offers her inspiring
personal story and a rallying cry for reform of a sports
landscape that is failing young female athletes Lauren
Fleshman has grown up in the world of running: one of the
most decorated collegiate athletes of all time and a
national champion as a pro, she was a major face of
women's running for Nike before leaving to shake up the
industry with feminist running brand Oiselle and now
coaches elite young female runners. Every step of the way,
she has seen the way that our sports systems-originally
designed by men, for men and boys-fail young women and
girls as much as empower them. Girls drop out of sports at
alarming rates once they hit puberty, and female
collegiate athletes routinely fall victim to injury,
eating disorders, or mental health struggles as they try
to force their way past a natural dip in performance for
women of their age. Part memoir, part manifesto, Good for
a Girl is Fleshman's story of falling in love with running
as a girl, being pushed to her limits and succumbing to
devastating injuries, and daring to fight for a better way
for female athletes. Long gone are the days when women and
girls felt lucky just to participate; Fleshman and women
everywhere are waking up to the reality that they're
running, playing, and competing in a world that wasn't
made for them. Drawing on not only her own story but also
emerging research on the physiology and psychology of
young athletes, both male and female, Fleshman gives voice
to the often-silent experience of the female athlete and
argues that the time has come to rebuild our systems of
competitive sport with women at their center. Written with
heart and verve, Good for a Girl is a joyful love letter
to the running life, a raw personal narrative of growth
and change, and a vital call to reimagine sports for young
women"--|cProvided by publisher.
