Abstract
- Maggie Nichols, a world champion gymnast, has written a book detailing her experiences of abuse and trauma within the gymnastics community. Nichols discusses the pressure she faced to be thin and the development of an eating disorder as a result. She also reveals the sexual abuse she suffered at the hands of Team U.S.A. doctor Larry Nassar. Despite the setbacks, Nichols has found strength and healing, becoming a successful college athlete and advocate for abuse victims. [Extracted from the article]
