Episode 14: Body image, 2021 April 14

Episode description provided by Middlebury Athletics: Andriy Proctor, Class of 2022 and member of the Men's Soccer team, Marisa Edmondson, Class of 2020 and former member of the Middebury Track & Field team, and athletic trainer Hannah Horris talk about how social media, familial pressures, and injury have impacted their perspectives on body image. Leaning Into Discomfort with Middlebury Athletics is sponsored by the athletics Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee and aims to have uncomfortable conversations surrounding topics such as race and identity. The hope is that the series will normalize discussing some of these taboo topics, while we learn and grow stronger together as a community.
