*TRIGGER WARNING: eating disorder*
I remember dealing with my first long stint away from playing sports, and how easy it was to fall into disordered eating. I started comparing myself to everyone, I stopped eating, and I told nobody about it.
It's so, so isolating. (1/3)

One really incredible thing to note about Washington's run:
They were ranked 9th by other coaches in the Big Ten preseason poll: bigten.org/wsoc/article...
Defying expectations all season long. Why not continue the trend?

One of the kindest most beautiful humans you can ever be blessed to work with and meet. We are so lucky here in Seattle and I hope other people see how much it means to have a player stay with a club -a club that has literally been through EVERYTHING - for their entire career.
Lauren Barnes played her last pro game tonight: 252 #NWSL regular season appearances, 21,000+ minutes -- the only player to ever achieve either, and she did it entirely in Seattle. End of an era.
