Cindy Coats ，

I absolutely love watching Sydney run and was so excited to hear about her story。 I just wish she could have done a memoir and then a faith self help。 I understand I have church hurt and trauma but it just felt too much church。 Can’t wait to watch her continue to dominate on the track。

I have idolized Sydney McLaughlin since we were both running high school track at the same time。 The first time I witnessed her race the 400m Hurdles in person was at New Balance Nationals in 2017， and I truly couldn't believe my eyes。。。and every race since， she continues to amaze me。 I found her story very interesting because she speaks about the insecurities she faced in her early life （many of which were extremely relatable to my own insecurities as a runner at that time） and how， as she foun I have idolized Sydney McLaughlin since we were both running high school track at the same time。 The first time I witnessed her race the 400m Hurdles in person was at New Balance Nationals in 2017， and I truly couldn't believe my eyes。。。and every race since， she continues to amaze me。 I found her story very interesting because she speaks about the insecurities she faced in her early life （many of which were extremely relatable to my own insecurities as a runner at that time） and how， as she found extraordinary success in the years that followed， she overcame those fears by leaning into faith。 Religion has never resonated with me as my identity is rooted elsewhere， but I love reading about other people's perspectives of how faith shapes them and leads them to achieving their goals。 Sydney illustrates the growth of her faith over time very clearly and reflects how her faith impacted each of the most important races of her career thus far。 It's no secret that God has a visible presence in many sports， and many athletes lean into prayer and worship on their paths to athletic success; I'm not sure I had a strong grasp of why athletes did this until reading Sydney's perspective。 Lot of respect for Sydney and wishing her continued success！ 。。。more
