Last week, one of the soccer coaches told one of their athletes that they needed to lose ten pounds. Sure the athlete could be out of shape, but what if it is said to the wrong person. Being an athlete in a sport like track , eating disorders are very prominent. Athletes want to be number one and they will do whatever it takes to get there.Does the coach have a right to decide ones weight. What if one does take it to far, does the coach have the right to tell that person to eat more. In the past year on my team, I can tell who has a problem. What do I say to them? You are under alot of pressure, but there is a difference between determination and obsession.
