difficult but necessary
Half of the time I listened to this series, I was either tearing up or straight out crying. I spent the majority of my childhood doing gymnastics. I didn’t realize it back then, but my coaches had such a psychological hold on me and all of my teammates, whose ages ranged from 6-18. We all were under this spell that they knew what they were doing and therefore we could not question them. A lesson that is not taught often enough is that authority figures are not always to be trusted, and it is important and necessary to question someone if what they are doing does not feel right. It took me years to tell my parents about an incident with one of my coaches that I used to be embarrassed and ashamed of, but hearing all of the girls’ statements, especially Aly Raisman’s, I felt confident that I was not alone and what happened was not my fault. This subject matter is not to be taken lightly, but I believe everyone who is old enough to understand the severity of Nassar’s actions should be educated about this and know that they have a voice if they were/are taken advantage of. My whole heart goes out to every girl who had their innocence stolen by that evil monster, and also my gratitude goes out to those who spoke in court for providing me with the courage to face, process, and heal from the skeleton in my closet. Survivors deserve to be heard, and deserve to be BELIEVED! Also, if you enjoyed this podcast, watch Athlete A on Netflix!!
