To address the issue of rapidly increasing mental health issues in students the author uses a jaw-dropping statistic "One study found that an average high school student today likely deals with as much anxiety as did a psychiatric patient in the 1950s" (Fagan 110). I found this evidence absolutely wild, this is definitely something that needs to be made more aware of.

The author discusses the lack of mental health resources in a college athletic department: "Athletic departments more often than not have numerous staff members fully certified to treat physical injuries, yet most don't have a single licensed mental health professional on the full time payroll" (Fagan 88). I think this poses a very serious issue for the future of young athletes.

The author really focuses on the way Maddy's college choice and transition to cross country really affected her. As well as the people who encouraged her at that time and how such small details are so important

In part of my book, the author has a discussion with a friend who struggles with mental health to help understand better how to write this book and comes to this conclusion: "It's so incredible to me that someone is feeling existence in such a vastly different way" (Fagan 25). I think the whole conversation can serve as a mirror and a window in our lives.
