Why Eating Disorders?

Why I Chose This Topic:

I chose to do my Academic Research Project on how eating disorders affect the mental and physical aspects of a female high school athlete.  I wanted to explore how eating disorders affect female athletes. 

Raising Awareness:

There is not enough eating disorder awareness throughout the community today. I want to change this by bringing awareness to the ongoing problem of eating disorders among high school girl athletes.

How This Website Will Help:

This website will help educate and bring awareness to eating disorders among high school girl athletes, so that coaches, parents, teachers, and athletes can be aware of the signs and risks.
