Lauren Fleshman is a former professional distance runner turned author. She competed at the highest levels of American distance running, including NCAA championships at Stanford and a professional career that made her one of the country’s top runners. After years of experience in the sport, she turned her attention to writing about the challenges women face in competitive athletics.
Her book Good for a Girl (2023) draws on her own career and the stories of other female athletes to examine how the sports world often fails women. The memoir covers everything from youth sports culture to professional competition, making a case for rethinking how girls and women are coached and supported.
