This was a girl who succeeded at everything she tried, and who was only getting started. But when Maddy began her long-awaited college career, her parents noticed something changed. Previously indefatigable Maddy became withdrawn, and her thoughts centered on how she could change her life. In spite of thousands of hours of practice and study, she contemplated transferring from the school that had once been her dream. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e When Maddy's dad, Jim, dropped her off for the first day of spring semester, she held him a second longer than usual. That would be the last time Jim would see his daughter. \u003ci\u003eWhat Made Maddy Run\u003c\/i\u003e began as a piece that Kate Fagan, a columnist for espnW, wrote about Maddy's life. What started as a profile of a successful young athlete whose life ended in suicide became so much larger when Fagan started to hear from other college athletes also struggling with mental illness. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This is the story of Maddy Holleran's life, and her struggle with depression, which also reveals the mounting pressures young people -- and college athletes in particular -- face to be perfect, especially in an age of relentless connectivity and social media saturation.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKate Fagan\u003c\/b\u003e is an Emmy award-winning journalist and the #1 \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling author of \u003ci\u003eWhat Made Maddy Run\u003c\/i\u003e, which was longlisted for the PEN\/ESPN Award.
