But every step of the way, she has seen how our sports systems--originally designed for men and boys--fail women and girls. Girls drop out of sports at alarming rates once they hit puberty, and female collegiate athletes routinely fall victim to injury, eating disorders, or mental health struggles as they try to force their way past a natural dip in performance for women of their age. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Written with heart and verve, \u003ci\u003eGood for a Girl\u003c\/i\u003e is Fleshman's story of falling in love with running, being pushed to her limits and succumbing to injuries, and fighting for a better way for female athletes. Drawing on not only her own story but also emerging research on the physiology and psychology of young athletes of any gender, Fleshman gives voice to the often-silent experience of the female athlete and argues that the time has come to rebuild competitive sports with women at their center.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLauren Fleshman \u003c\/b\u003eis one of the most decorated American distance runners of all time, having won five NCAA championships at Stanford University and two national championships as a professional.
