In this video I share my own story about when I developed an eatingdisorder because of the unhealthy focus and norms around weight and apperance in elite athletics.

Athletes are suffering from eatingdisorders in a much bigger proportion than non-athletes. I want to bring light to this issue and the normalization of these norms because I know that I’m far from alone experiencing the negative physical and mental consequences of this.
