OPINION: Women’s sport has a Dirty Little Secret.
It’s staggering under the weight of body anxiety, if you’ll excuse the pun.
As a clinical psychologist, I’m not supposed to say these things out loud. Sports leaders don’t want to hear it; coaches want to ignore it; female athletes (often) don’t want to admit it.
But I’m bored with all that pretence, avoidance and head-in-the-sand naivety so I’ll just say it: women’s sport is so chock full of disordered eating and exercise addiction it’s just not funny anymore.
