Sigh, when will teachers and coaches stop limiting their students.

Edit: I meant what I said, and said what I meant. Pls stop trynna argue with me.

This shows real determination!!!! Never give up!!!!

As a former seasonal cross country coach I would never think of saying anything like that to my runners. Granted they were elementary age but that was legit a lifetime experience that you get to pass on knowledge.

[gpac]

Thank you for sharing your true-life inspirational messages. Many blessings to you!

Hearing that from your own coach is crazy. He should be pushing you to do better, supporting you all til the end.

[boursiquotkids]

she said that this was 9 years ago. that just shows that whatever you say to someone, whether it’s bad or good, they will remember it and it could change them for the good or the bad. just be kind to everyone!❤

[NuggetLife]

That’s terrible no one should be treated like that.

Stop replying

[kokonut-girly]

I literally don’t know how someone thinks she fat, she’s absolutely gorgeous

[JohnDavis-ikve]

I bet that coach is eating his words now!
Your a inspiration to others

[kaitlynhull]

Molly, you are an athletic inspiration and you motivate me to be disciplined, brave and strong. You are one of the best role models I have ever found pleasure in looking up to. Thank you for sharing your achievements, and also for sharing the shit talk that makes you bulletproof. Sending you love, sister. ❤

I'm a diver as well and I'm just gonna say that you have some beautiful dives! Don't let anyone's words get to you, You are amazing.

[CarlosMendez]

Adults can be so cruel without even thinking. I’m glad she showed him/her!!

[Animalgirl-meku]

Bro, as a competitive swimmer, that makes me so sad that the coach would ever say that to you

[haleydelpesce]

I also had coaches that commented on my body negatively at 16. Their irresponsible comments instilled so much anxiety when it came to running that I stopped doing it for years after high school. I'm 23 now, have completed 2 half marathons and 1 marathon this year and have officially fallen in love with my body and running again!! There is no "diving body type" or "running body type, " there are only bodies that are trained to dive and bodies that are trained to run. I wish someone would've told me that I didn't need to stay at my prepubescent body weight in order to be good at running! Thank you for sharing your story :)

[Kitty_woods]

That coach was definitely a bad coach they should be giving you support and help and confidence but thankfully you are amazing and confident don't listen to anybody that says you can't do what you want to do you follow your path you are amazing just you are

[Jeffrey-rc]

Athletes come in all shapes and sizes. Your spirit and willpower matter more than any tape measure reading

[jamieworrall]

Any coach that says anything negative to a pupil, has no business being a coach!!! You are the best!!

[johncooke]

Fantastic figure notwithstanding, your confidence and bravery for competing in this sport, make you a heroine in my eyes.

[lilyb]

Molly, THANK YOU! I’ve been a swimmer for so long and I struggle with body image and not feeling good at my sport. Your videos have made me so happy and confident and I pray that you have the best in your life.
