Assigning morality to how people eat Rachael’s YouTube conversation with her dad  Resources for coaches, athletes, parents, etc.  Diversifying eating disorder resources Rachael's YouTube conversation with Matt Smith  David Proctor and male eating disorders  Eatright.org National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA) The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls  Quotes: “Why aren’t coaches given this kind of information? We have to take a concussion training every year, we had to take a COVID training this year, but there is no mandatory training for eating disorders. And I’m quite sure there are more eating disorders than concussions in running. I don’t deny that concussions are very important, but I really wish eating disorders were part of the training curriculum.” Follow Rachael on Instagram Follow Running in Silence on Instagram  Follow Social Sport: Website  Instagram Facebook Twitter  The RED-S/eating disorder series is sponsored by FEM Protein Powder.
