What Made Maddy Run by Kate Fagan
The Secret Struggles and Tragic Death of an All-American Teen
A compassionate investigative account of a talented young college athlete who died by suicide, tracing her life through interviews with family, teammates, coaches and friends to explore how mental illness, social media, perfectionism and the pressures of elite athletics and campus life combined to overwhelm her; the narrative examines systemic failures — from dismissive adults to institutional blind spots — and asks how communities can better recognize and support students struggling beneath polished surfaces.
