Episode Synopsis

Athletes are driven to succeed in their sport.  This drive is often revered by many as an enviable trait; however, this drive can lead some to adopt a “whatever it takes” mentality.  Disordered eating or eating disorders can be an outcome of this desire to do everything within one’s control to succeed.  Rachael Steil has fought the battle to recover from an eating disorder and shares her powerful story in the book Running In Silence (2ndedition, 2020).  She is currently working on a second book.  Her inspirational story of recovery is one that can offer struggling athletes hope.
