In July and August, espnWs weekly essay series will focus on body image.The best days were also the longest ones at the track. Interval work. Repeats. I was 16 and understood my body in muscle, speed and time. Spring track meant more hours of daylight and warmer weather. If my coach said, One more, I was ready. Race pace, I could sweat myself there.My high school was not particularly committed to athletics, and participation in track was limited. I ran with the boys because there were no other girls who could keep up. I felt good being one of them; keeping up with boys meant I was strong.My scrawny frame, so perfect and typical for a high school female distance runner, did not give me social cachet. When other girls my age were speeding toward womanhood, I was ensconced in athletic girlhood. Pursuing excellence at running wasnt always an easy choice.I wanted to be good, but I also wanted to be a teenager -- which meant both having time to go to parties, and getting asked to them, being desired, being kissed -- all part and parcel of a traditional adolescence that didnt revolve around hours spent on the track and 400-meter splits.I went to college as a recruited runner and imagined a four-year career in which I got stronger and quicker, surrounded by teammates who could inspire me and push me to be the fastest version of myself. Like so many female-bodied athletes making the transition from high school to college, I got hurt. I battled repetitive stress fractures in my shins.Though I wasnt one of them, I knew countless high school runners, and even runners on my college team, who attempted to stall womanhood with hard training or disordered eating. I knew that what happened to my body in college was typical, that the onset of puberty is delayed for many female high school distance runners, and that, with puberty often comes diminished times, or injuries.No one had tailored training specifically toward my changing body. No one coached me through my transition from girlhood to womanhood. I simply had to accept a different relationship to my body. No longer could I define myself by muscle and speed.I had to re-understand and relearn my body off the track, and in the world. What did it mean to be a woman, especially now that I was no longer a competitive athlete? Especially now, with breasts and hips, 20 pounds heavier than when I graduated high school. How could I continue to feel strong and sure in my body when it didnt look or work as it once had?After college, I thought I had left the world of competitive distance running forever, but I ended up finding my way back. For a number of years, I was one of the coaches for the distance runners at an all-girls Catholic high school in Seattle. The girls on this team were fierce, determined, and fast -- as well as kind, open, easy to laugh, and compassionate and caring teammates.There were no boys at the school, so running with them wasnt an option. The girls were more confident in themselves because they had never been told that being called fast implied being as fast as boys. Instead they became strong together, as a pack of girls.There are still few discussions about how to coach girls on the brink of womanhood, how to foster both their athletic ability, and their development of self. I feel lucky that, as a coach, I worked with a woman, Erin, who not only was an experienced coach, but also had trained as a social worker.Erin and I werent simply interested in coaching the girls to produce faster times, but rather in helping them become sustainable athletes and people -- girls who felt comfortable and strong in themselves both on and off the track, proud of their bodies and their athletic feats but not defined by them.We wanted to teach them ownership over their bodies. We hoped we could help them be comfortable with the ways their bodies would grow and change.Our conversations about how to build practices not only revolved around the workout for the day, but also around how the girls were doing. Were the girls eating enough? Were they sleeping? Were they obsessing about someone of the opposite sex? Unsure of their sexuality? Were they worrying about their bodies? Thinking about their gender expression?We hoped we could help the girls become powerful, strong, confident, and secure -- in part because, as women, they will be up against so much. Women earn less than men; womens sports get far less national coverage than mens sports; even female Olympic athletes are often referenced in relation to their male counterparts.If girls are constantly being told, in one way or another, that they matter less, its up to us -- coaches, teachers, mentors, parents, friends -- to tell them just how valued they are, how capable.Erin and I told them how to manage period cramps on days when they had to race. They were relieved when we told them that yes, we too, got anxious, as they did before races.We couldnt share everything about ourselves, but we wanted them to know us -- and to know we had survived; we were good; like they would become, we were women, strong, capable women, comfortable in our own bodies.The girls on the team were serious athletes, some of the best athletes in the state. One more. They were ready. Race pace. They did it without complaint.Yes, some certainly did get injured because training hard is living on the brink of injury. Some got faster. Some got slower. Some gained weight. Some lost it. We tried to talk about all of it, and tried to paint it as a natural part of growing up.As the seasons wore on, it became clear that I too would have benefited from the type of coaching we were trying to provide the girls on the team. I needed someone to look up to, someone to tell me what was happening to my body was normal, that I could be fast again. I needed someone to tell me that I wasnt losing anything as I matured.Its been a couple of years since Ive coached. I miss the long days at the track, when the last frozen remnants of winter have finally melted, and the red rubber is hot with sun and the pounding of feet. I miss Erin and the conversations that we had about how to coach, which were actually about how to live.I miss the girls. I think about them racing around the final curve and into the straightaway, their muscles screaming and lungs burning. I think about the pain they have taught their bodies to endure. I hope that whenever they leave the track, they walk tall, strong and proud toward the starting line, on the brink, ready to go.Hannah Oberman-Breindel is a writer based in Brooklyn, New York.

According to a report from the Winnipeg Free Press, the Bombers will name Acting GM Kyle Walters to the post full time. http://www.airmax270reactpascher.fr/fausse-air-max-270-react-noir-bleu.html . That left plenty of energy for pitching books and swatting away free agency questions. Anthony had 24 points and nine rebounds, and the Knicks avenged an embarrassing home loss with a rout of their own, beating the Boston Celtics 114-88 on Wednesday night for their third straight victory.

There are surprises among the Vezina candidates, but most of the others are standard top-tier performers, even if the two Hart Trophy runners-ups have never been quite as good as they have been through the first half of the season.(STATS) -- Any deficit in the FCS playoffs was going to trouble unbeaten Sam Houston State considering it had trailed against only one opponent all season -- for a mere 3 minutes, 14 seconds of first-quarter clock.So the Bearkats werent prepared for the kind of lead James Madison built against them Friday night.No team would be.Fourth-seeded James Madison scored early and often while eliminating the fifth-seeded Bearkats 65-7 in the national quarterfinals at Bridgeforth Stadium in Harrisonburg, Virginia.James Madison (12-1), which won the CAA Football title under first-year coach Mike Houston, advances to the FCS semifinals for the third time in program history. It will play next weekend against the winner of Saturdays matchup between No. 8 seed South Dakota State and No. 1 seed North Dakota State. The Dukes previously reached the semis in their 2004 national title season and in 2008.Their point total was the sixth-highest in playoff history and the winning margin was the second-biggest to Montanas 70-7 win over Troy in the 1996 semifinals.While game temperatures were in the mid-20s, and not to the liking of the visitors from Texas, James Madison was red-hot in the teams first-ever meeting, taking a 21-0 lead in just over 11 minutes of action and extending it to 35-0 within the first five minutes of the second quarter.Sam Houston (12-1), top-ranked in the STATS FCS Top 25 to end the regular season, hardly resembled the team that entered the game No. 1 in the FCS in both points and yards per game. Jeremiah Briscoe, who had thrown for 4,459 yards and an FCS single-season record 57 touchdown passes, completed only 13 of 44 pass attempts for a season-low 143 yards, throwing two interceptions (Raven Greene and Curtis Oliver) in the third quarter. The junior also was called for intentional grounding in his end zone, resulting in a safety.We had a great week of practice, there was no doubt in my mind that we were going to come out and play well tonight, Houston said. Defensively, that was as impressive of a performance Ive seen in a long time. It speaks to the improvement of the secondary of the past several months. I thought we clicked in all phases -- offensively, defensively and special teams. Very proud of the kids and coaches.We got beat by a really good football team that I thought played at a very high level, Sam Houston coach K.C. Keeler said. We feed off our offense and our point production has been off the charts.dddddddddddd Jeremiah really struggled. He didnt take a single snap the entire week of practice (because of an elbow injury). We didnt know if he was going to play until game time. His elbow, he injured in last weeks game, so I thought our timing was off. I thought he threw the ball OK, but the timing was off. Its a shame, but we got beat in all three phases.JMU quarterback Bryan Schor threw for 236 of his 251 yards in the first half, with both a touchdown pass and run. Khalid Abdullah rushed for 141 yards and three touchdowns, and Trai Sharp gained 144 yards and two touchdowns on the ground as part of the Dukes 607 total yards.In the first quarter, Abdullah capped an early drive in which he gained 52 rushing yards by scoring from 14 yards out. Schor then completed a 64-yard pass to Domo Taylor to set up his 1-yard touchdown run. After a Sam Houston possession quickly stalled, Rashard Davis weaved his way for a 72-yard punt return for a touchdown -- his fourth of the season.A lot of people may overlook special teams, but its one of the biggest on the field, Davis said. We look at special teams for momentum-boosters and we feed off of them when big plays happen. They play a key role in big games like this. It was the first time Sam Houston hadnt scored in the first quarter since falling to Jacksonville State in last years playoff semifinals. It only got worse when the Dukes special teams delivered again early in the second quarter as Robert Carter Jr. blocked a punt and freshman Bryce Maginley scooped up the ball for a 20-yard touchdown return.On their next drive, Schor hit tight end Jonathan Kloosterman for a 10-yard touchdown pass, making it 35-0 with 10:40 remaining in the second quarter.It was exactly what Sam Houston had been doing to many opponents in the first half of games. The Southland Conference champion had been seeking to reach the national semifinals for the fifth time in six seasons.James Madison hasnt lost to an FCS opponent, only to ACC member North Carolina. The Dukes will host their national semifinal if South Dakota State wins Saturday, otherwise theyll go on the road to face North Dakota State, the five-time reigning FCS champion. ' ' '
