    Summer Wilson: Maybe it Happened for a Reason

    PEAC — Train Like A Girl Podcast | Summer Wilson: The Gap Year, the Comeback, and Learning to Listen to Pain "Learn to listen to pain. Listen to your body. If you catch it early, you can prevent it." Summer Wilson had one of the most decorated high school careers in the country. As a senior at Irvine High School, she swept the 2025 cross country season, set a U.S. high school national record in the 3-mile, won the CIF State Division 2 title, qualified for Nike Cross Nationals, and was named Orange County Register Girls Cross Country Athlete of the Year. She did it all while carrying a 4.42 weighted GPA. Then came the stress fracture. Summer had never been injured. She thought the pain was nothing and kept pushing until it got bad that spring. Instead of rushing into college running, she made the brave call to take a gap year before joining Duke Cross Country and Track & Field in August 2027. Now she's living and training at altitude in Big Bear, cross training, building strength, and coaching high school athletes as an assistant coach. In this episode, Summer opens up about ignoring warning signs, the support of her Duke coaches, what coaching has taught her about her own sport, and why she believes this detour may have happened for a reason. In this episode, we talk about: Growing up in a running family: her first race at age 4, plus a sister and mom who raced Why club running made her fall in love with the sport, and the coach who kept training fun. The warning signs she missed: shin stress fractures, knee pain, bone bruises. Why switching shoes for NIL taught her to stick with what works for your body. Deciding to take a gap year, and how both Duke coaches had her back. Her cross training week: aqua jogging, assault bike, and strength work twice a week in the weight room. The core, glute, and band work she relies on for injury prevention. What being an assistant coach has taught her about teamwork and the sport from the other side. Fueling for  performance, and why you have to eat before workouts. Protecting 8 to 10 hours of sleep, and why it "does not feel like a sacrifice" Holding yourself accountable as a high schooler chasing a college career Quotes we loved: "Learn to listen to pain." "You have to be dedicated and put in the work." "Such good friends — they run for each other." (on the high school team she coaches) "It does not feel like a sacrifice." When you are ALL IN>  Quick Facts: Summer Wilson Incoming freshman, Duke Cross Country / Track & Field (arriving August 2027 after a gap year) COROS Global Athlete Former Irvine High School (Irvine, CA) standout U.S. high school national record, 3-mile (15:14.50, CIF-SS Finals, 2025) State record and Woodward Park course record, 5K (16:20, CIF State D2, 2025) 2025 CIF State Division 2 Cross Country Champion 2025 Orange County Register Girls Cross Country Athlete of the Year CIF Southern Section 3,200m champion Steeplechase PR: 6:42 Nike Cross Nationals qualifier Currently training at altitude and working as a high school assistant coach Warm-Up: Sea level or altitude?

    Athletes Are People First: Olympian Katherine Reutter-Adamek on Mindset, Fueling and Finding Herself Again

    Athletes Are People First: Olympian Katherine Reutter-Adamek on Mindset, Fueling & Finding Herself Again Katherine Reutter-Adamek is a fellow Illinoisan and one of the most decorated short track speed skaters in U.S. history. At the 2010 Vancouver Olympics she won silver in the 1000 meters and bronze in the 3000-meter relay. That silver made her the first American woman in sixteen years to win an individual Olympic short track medal. In 2011 she became the World Cup overall champion, and she is still the only American woman to do it. Today she's a mental skills and nutrition coach and keynote speaker through her company, Fix Your Mindset. This conversation covers the medals, but it's mostly about what came after them: injuries, identity, fueling, and learning to be a whole person and not only an athlete. "Athletes are people first." — Katherine Reutter-Adamek HER STORY Katherine's grandparents and parents got her on the ice, and she knew early that she had a special talent. At 16 she left home and moved to Utah to train with the national team. Her career had big highs, but she says most of what she learned came from the injuries that eventually forced a painful end to it. Around 21, when many young women are just coming into their own, everything came to the surface. Her injuries took away every coping mechanism she had, and what she felt went deeper than performance anxiety: she couldn't be on the ice, with her teammates, or in the gym. She was grieving. "I lost the athlete I thought I would be." — Katherine Reutter-Adamek DOING THE INNER WORK Katherine is honest that she wasn't doing the inner work back then. Even later, with a good job and good relationships, she was sad all the time and couldn't point to a reason. "When you put things in the dark, they grow. My insides didn't match my outside." — Katherine Reutter-Adamek Now she teaches athletes to look at their fear directly, with an acronym she uses: FEAR = False Evidence Appearing Real. She also asks athletes where their motivation actually comes from. "I want to be a success" can quickly become "What if I get it wrong?" Her alternative is to set a goal, pick five key questions, and solve for your curiosity instead of falling down rabbit holes. When nerves take over, she says to get back to "rest and digest": go for a walk, read a book. MULTI-SPORT KIDS & AVOIDING EARLY SPECIALIZATION Athletes get their whole lives zoomed in on, and looking back, Katherine believes a less specialized start would have made her transitions easier. Her tips for parents and coaches: - Being multi-sport is a gift, for identity and for physical development. Three-sport athletes tend to be happier and healthier. - Don't train more hours a week than your age. Free play doesn't count, so kids can play all they want. - Take a two-week break after the competitive season. - You won't lose it. Once a neural pathway is built, neuroplasticity means it stays. FIT — FEMALE INTEGRATED TRAINING Katherine's biggest message on training is that girls aren't small boys. "We are not coaching athletes — we are coaching female athletes." — Katherine Reutter-Adamek Her sport was intensely performance-focused and built on a male model. Nobody talked about hormones, even with medical staff around, and she says that needs to change. EAT — ENERGY, APPETITE, TIMING As an elite athlete, Katherine wasn't fueling enough. "Way after the fact, I saw my disordered eating for what it was." — Katherine Reutter-Adamek She's realistic about body image pressure from sport and social media ("this is real, and we have a long way to go"), and her advice as a nutrition coach is simple: "Do simple things well." — Katherine Reutter-Adamek Are you eating three meals a day plus snacks? Are you sleeping 8 to 9 hours? It's simple, she says, but it's hard. You don't need to be perfect all the time. Ask what the smallest effective dose is, because small things add up. What she wants girls to have is curiosity, self-exploration, and real pride in their hard work. REST — RECOVERY, ENRICHMENT, SLEEP, TECHNOLOGY Sleep is non-negotiable: 8 to 9 hours. Once she stepped away from skating and coaching, Katherine found room for fellowship, for letting things be "good enough," and for a spiritual practice built on forgiveness and compassion. "My life is bigger than my accomplishments." — Katherine Reutter-Adamek DINNER PARTY Asked which five people she'd invite to dinner, Katherine picked Buddha, Jesus Christ, her mom, her dad, and her grandma. They'd be eating pizza. New episode of PEAC — Train Like A Girl, available wherever you get your podcasts. Learn more about Katherine's coaching and speaking at www.FixYourMindset.com

    Team First, Time Second: Batavia's Avery Hacker on Trusting the Process

    Team First, Time Second: Batavia's Avery Hacker on Trusting the Process Avery Hacker is a cross country and distance track standout at Batavia High School, coming off one of the best years of high school running in Illinois. Last fall she ran to a runner-up finish at the Class 3A State Meet as a junior, then carried that momentum into a big spring capped by a win in the women's Ray Meyer Elite High School Mile at Magis Miles, crossing in 4:55.55. Heading into this cross country season, Avery is one of the favorites in the state — anchoring a Batavia program built on depth. This episode is about her training and her racing mindset, but mostly it's about how she thinks of herself: team first, individual second. "You are not in competition with your teammates." — Avery Hacker That's the thread running through the whole conversation — for Avery, chasing a State title never comes at the expense of the team around her. Her Story Before running took over, Avery was a soccer and gymnastics kid. Cross country and track started out casual — just for fun — before strength training became the piece that pushed her to the next level. "Strength helped me get to the next level." — Avery Hacker The State Meet Runner-Up & the Magis Miles Win Avery's runner-up finish at last fall's Class 3A State Meet set up a big spring, punctuated by that win in the Ray Meyer Elite High School Mile at Magis Miles in 4:55.55. Heading into this season, she's one of the favorites to take the individual State title, running behind a Batavia team that's one of the deepest in the state. Team First, Time Second Ask Avery how she balances being one of the most talented individual runners in Illinois with being a great teammate, and the answer isn't complicated — it's about showing up. "Cross country is a team sport. They are there every day with you." — Avery Hacker That shows up in the small things: cheering teammates on, making sure freshmen feel welcomed onto the team from day one, and an all-senior captains' group that keeps everyone pushing forward together. Coachability & Tuning Out the Noise Coachability, for Avery, means trusting the training even when the results aren't there yet. "Confidence does not come from times." — Avery Hacker She's learned to measure herself with different questions instead: Do you feel strong? Are you sleeping, fueling, and recovering the way you need to? That framework — 8 to 9 hours of sleep a night, recovery boots, team ice baths — is how she lets a hard workout actually sink in before it's race time. She's just as direct about tuning out the noise that can crowd an athlete's head — especially the comparison trap of social media and rankings. "Only you know the effort you are putting in." — Avery Hacker Her approach in big races is to let go of overthinking it and race what's in front of her. "Big races, I just go in and feel out the race. Race in the moment." — Avery Hacker FIT — Female Integrated Training Strength work is a non-negotiable part of Avery's week — once or twice a week, built specifically to prepare her muscles for the training load ahead. EAT — Energy, Appetite, Timing Avery keeps her fueling simple and specific: a Gogo squeeze and pretzels before practice, chocolate milk to recover after, and homemade peanut butter bites in the mix. Race-day strategy gets simplified too, especially in hot conditions — she leaves most of her effort for the last half mile rather than trying to script the whole race. REST — Recovery, Enrichment, Sleep, Technology Outside of practice, Avery is intentional about protecting time with friends — movie nights, catching half a football game — making sure running doesn't crowd out everything else. "It's super important to have friends outside of practice." — Avery Hacker Recruiting Avery's approach to the college process is to stay open-minded, with a preference for staying close to home in the Midwest. Academically, she's leaning toward a science-heavy track toward a career as a PA (physician assistant). Closing / Legacy Looking back, Avery says the biggest lesson has been learning to trust herself during workouts. She's also had to learn a more literal lesson about fueling — after being diagnosed with an iron deficiency and starting a multivitamin, she's leaned into eating simply and consistently: breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks in between. Her advice for any girl wondering if she's "serious" enough to chase running further comes back to patience and perspective: "Everyone starts at a different spot. Training compiles on itself." — Avery Hacker And the line she keeps coming back to: "Your teammates are not your competition." — Avery Hacker New episode of PEAC — Train Like A Girl, available wherever you get your podcasts.

    USATF U20 Cross Country Champion: Duke's Victoria Garces on Fueling, Recovery, and Running Her Own Race

    USATF U20 Cross Country Champion: Duke's Victoria Garces on Fueling, Recovery, and Running Her Own Race Victoria Garces is a sophomore distance runner at Duke University, originally from Midland, Michigan (Herbert Henry Dow High School). In 2025 she won U20 gold in the 6K at the USATF Cross Country Championships in Portland with a time of 21:07.0. She competes across the 1500m, 3000m, 5000m, and 6K cross country, and was named to the 2026 Outdoor All-ACC Academic Team. This episode digs into how she got from a Michigan high school program to a national title, and what it actually takes — physically, mentally, and nutritionally — to hold that pace. "I am going to take fueling more seriously!!" — Victoria Garces That line captures where Victoria is right now: year two into Division I racing, and finally treating fueling and recovery as part of the training — not an afterthought to it. Her Story Victoria's jump from Michigan high school running to Duke's Division I program was, in her words, smoother than expected. She settled into a five-day-a-week training rhythm and — critically — recovery was prioritized from the start rather than added in later. "Transition was smooth. Run 5 days per week. Recovery prioritized." — Victoria Garces Ask her when she knew she had something real, and the answer is precise: "When I broke 19, I knew I could be good." — Victoria Garces That breakthrough — dropping under 19 minutes — was the moment running stopped being just something she did and became something she was genuinely chasing. The USATF U20 Win Victoria's U20 gold in the 6K at the 2025 USATF Cross Country Championships in Portland came with a time of 21:07.0. Racing across the 1500m, 3000m, 5000m, and 6K, she's built a range most college runners don't carry — a versatility that's clearly paying off. FIT — Female Integrated Training Yearntwo into Duke's program, Victoria's training has settled into a clear structure: five runs a week, with recovery treated as a built-in part of the plan rather than something squeezed in around it. Balancing four different race distances — from the 1500m up through the 6K cross country — means her week has to flex between speed and endurance work without her losing the sharpness that got her to Portland. EAT — Energy, Appetite, Timing Victoria is candid about fueling being an area she's still working on — and one she's committed to taking more seriously as her training load grows. "I am going to take fueling more seriously!!" — Victoria Garces It's a simple line, but it points to something a lot of young female athletes wrestle with: treating food as part of performance, not something separate from it. REST — Recovery, Enrichment, Sleep, Technology This is where Victoria was the most candid — and it's clearly where a lot of her recent growth has come from. With 8 a.m. practices, sleep isn't optional; it's the recovery tool she leans on hardest. "I have an amazing roommate who loves to sleep and goes to bed by 10 PM. Practice is 8 AM — sleep is the best recovery!" — Victoria Garces She's also learned to let go of perfectionism in favor of consistency: "Practice being real, not perfect." — Victoria Garces Her roommate — also a cross country runner — has become a built-in support system: they socialize at dinner, do homework together, and keep each other on track. Victoria's advice for making it all work is simple and repeatable: "Make a schedule and hold yourself accountable." — Victoria Garces Closing / Legacy Asked what she wishes she'd understood earlier, Victoria points straight to identity — and how much freedom she found once she let go of an old assumption. "I thought to be one of the best runners, running had to be your identity — that to have success, it was all you were. Mentality makes a big difference. The mental game makes a difference. Lock in on building confidence." — Victoria Garces From a Michigan high school program to U20 national champion, Victoria Garces is proof that the sport can be something you're serious about without letting it swallow everything else.

    State Qualifier, Record-Breaker, Coach: Diana Crumrine-Carson's Hurdles Journey

    State Qualifier, Record-Breaker, Coach: Diana Crumrine-Carson's Hurdles Journey PEAC — Train Like a Girl Episode: Diana Crumrine-Carson (Holy Trinity —Cross Country, Track, and Volleyball Coach)  About this episode Diana Crumrine-Carson wasn't athletic as a kid. She started in ballet, then moved to figure skating — and didn't make it past tryouts. She tried out for her school's cheerleading team and didn't make that either. When she wanted to play softball, the season got cancelled. Then her PE teacher mentioned the team needed track athletes, and Diana — who just wanted to be part of something — gave it a shot, even after her mom told her "hurdles are for horses." Her coaches, Jody and Deb, were goal-oriented people who let Diana set big goals of her own. She went on to qualify for state and break a school record, then competed at North Central College. That experience is what pulled her into coaching — a career change driven by her love of the sport — and she now teaches and coaches hurdles at the middle school level. In this episode, Diana talks about the winding, rejection-filled path that led her to the sport she now coaches, what she's had to unlearn moving from athlete to coach, and how she helps young female athletes build a healthy relationship with training, fueling, rest, and their own sense of self-worth. Notable quotes from Diana "Hurdles are for horses." — her mom, before she understood what hurdles were and what a gift her daughter had. "You're not a runner yet." "Your value is not defined by making a team." "Be a great, strong support system for your athletes." "Comparison is the thief of joy." "Be the champion of your life." Highlights:  A consistent mindset matters more than natural talent — anyone can learn to be good. Parents and family should be their athlete's biggest cheerleaders, not another source of pressure. Nutrition fundamentals: protein, carbohydrates, and hydration — and why a PE teacher's perspective on fueling is a differentiator. Being cut from ballet, figure skating, cheer, and softball didn't make Diana less athletic — it made her tougher, and shaped the coach she became. Diana currently competes in USA Masters Track & Field (ages 25–100+), across all track and field events, at national meets and world championships — but says she still misses the competitive team environment. So much passion in this episode; tune in.

    Don't Play Small: Addie Dieckmeyer on Coaching Girls Lacrosse the Right Way

    Don't Play Small: Addie Dieckmeyer on Coaching Girls Lacrosse the Right Way Guest: Addie Dieckmeyer, Head Girls Lacrosse Coach at Barrington High School, Club Director of Second City Lacrosse, and IGLCA Coach of the Year. A former attacker at Webster Groves High School (St. Louis) and North Central College, Addie coached at Saint Viator High School before taking the helm at Barrington. In this episode, Addie traces her path from multi-sport kid to college lacrosse player to head coach, and unpacks how she builds a program around the whole athlete — not just the scoreboard. In This Episode Addie starts in youth softball and multiple sports before falling for lacrosse, a game she'd never even heard of growing up. She talks about how the sport gave her a social home, how she's learned more as a coach than she ever did as a player, and an early experience with a male coach that left her uncomfortable — a moment that shaped how she thinks about representation and safety in girls' sports today. Her take: an all-male coaching staff isn't good enough, transparency matters, and athletes need to externalize their feelings and get an outside perspective rather than sitting alone with self-doubt. She explains how coaching found her — through D3 coaching and travel teams — and why leading a girls' program specifically appealed to her, including the importance of bringing in mental health professionals to support her athletes. On coaching philosophy, Addie draws a hard line: failure isn't about losing, it's about not competing. She recalls facing a #1-ranked York team and how her players stayed focused on effort and their own game rather than the outcome, playing with confidence and mutual respect. "You will win, or you will learn." Her honest admission: the kids often motivate the coaches more than the other way around. FIT — Female Integrated Training Addie walks through her twice-a-week training structure (one strength day, one speed day, plus lacrosse skills), how her performance staff supports the coaching team, and how training is adapted around growth, puberty, and the menstrual cycle. She also addresses the lingering resistance some girls have toward lifting weights. EAT — Energy, Appetite, Timing A team nutritionist talks fueling, hydration, and timing with the athletes. Addie describes practical tools like team snack bags and hydration routines (including "N-2" hydration prep), and how she approaches conversations about under-fueling without making it about weight. REST — Recovery, Enrichment, Sleep, Technology Sleep is priority number one — Addie targets 9 to 10 hours a night and sees the impact on both physical and mental performance. She talks about building recovery into the season rather than treating it as optional, and how she pushes players to find identity and value outside lacrosse. A core theme: every player has a role, not just the top scorers, and understanding that role — cheerleader, accountability partner, teammate — is what creates real buy-in. "Not everyone is the top scorer. But all roles matter." Leadership & Team Culture Addie addresses how she handles competition for playing time — clear roles and firm boundaries take the politics out of it, leaving work ethic as the deciding factor. Team bonding plays a big part in making that culture stick. She also shares a moment of watching a player grow up right in front of her. Closing Thought "Confidence to be themselves, don't play small. Women are taught to be people pleasers — please yourself and make your mark."

    Trusting the Process, All the Way to Duke, with Sunny Weber

    Trusting the Process All the Way to Duke: Sundara "Sunny" Weber Her Story Sunny started running cross country in 5th grade — and almost quit mid-season. Her mom said no, and that turned out to be the turning point: Sunny fell hard for the sport instead. Early on, the motivation was simple: her family let her stay in a hotel if she won a race. It didn't take long before something bigger clicked — she found out she was competitive. Freshman year, her training stayed intentionally low-mileage — saving her legs for college, long before Duke was even a certainty. "This isn't a chore." — Sunny Weber That line sums up her whole approach. This conversation covers how Sunny trains, fuels, and recovers as a female athlete — and what she's carrying with her to Duke. FIT — Female Integrated Training Sunny's training has changed with every season, especially the adjustment to a new coach and learning to trust an unfamiliar training plan. "Trusting in him, my new coach..." — Sunny Weber She's had to build her own definition of what training success looks like, rather than measuring herself against others: "Comparison stold my joy— I learned to do what works for me." — Sunny Weber That extends to how she uses (or doesn't use) technology to track her training: "Mindset — not trying to judge myself on Strava." — Sunny Weber Recovery and consistency are treated as non-negotiables — mobility, strength work, and fuel are all part of the plan, not afterthoughts. Training alone, especially over the summer without teammates, has been one of the harder adjustments — something she expects to shift once she's training on a full college schedule. EAT — Energy, Appetite, Timing Fueling as a distance athlete isn't always intuitive, and Sunny has had to learn to eat even when her body isn't telling her to. "Eating can be hard — not hungry after a long run — but I know if I do, I will recover better." — Sunny Weber "Running suppresses appetite, and foods that are easy and simple help me stay fueled!" — Sunny Weber Her go-to fuel sources are simple by design: a protein smoothie (16g protein) or a straightforward plate of chicken, rice, and veggies. Fuel isn't an afterthought — it's a priority, aimed at meeting real energy needs rather than restricting them. The conversation also touches on body image — and the long view Sunny's learned to take: "Understanding long-term hurt versus long-term success." — Sunny Weber REST — Recovery, Enrichment, Sleep, Technology Recovery is one of the areas Sunny takes most seriously: 8–9 hours of sleep a night, an early bedtime, and a training philosophy that treats rest as part of the work, not a break from it. Recruiting & Duke Sunny describes the recruiting process as overwhelming — and grounding. She stayed open to all options, including the possibility of studying biology on a pre-med track. In the end, it was the people who made the decision clear: she loved the campus, loved the coaches, loved the future teammates. What stood out most was how the coaching staff made her feel — "Coaches see her as a person, not a number." — Sunny Weber As she looks ahead to Duke, she's excited for a new team and new people, but honest about the nerves that come with leaving home and adjusting to a heavier academic load. Closing / Legacy Sunny's advice to her younger self, and to any girl just starting out: have patience. Results — and race times — often show up later than you'd expect. For Sunny, some of her biggest breakthroughs came from trusting a process that didn't pay off immediately. New episode of PEAC — Train Like A Girl, available wherever you get your podcasts.

    Coaching High School Runners with Coach of the Year, Deb Revolta

    Coaching High School Runners Deb Revolta Girls Cross Country & Track Coach, Barrington High School (Barrington, IL) Deb Revolta has spent decades building one of the most respected girls' cross country programs in Illinois — and she's done it with a simple philosophy: culture, buy-in, and trusting the process.  Named Illinois Girls' Cross Country Coach of the Year by the Illinois Track and Cross Country Coaches Association, Deb led Barrington to a state championship in 2003, then waited over twenty years for the program's next title in 2024 — a race that came down to a single point separating three teams. She defended that title again in 2025, making Barrington and Revolta the fourth conference program ever to win multiple girls cross country state championships.  The program now holds 10 team championship trophies, and Fillies athlete Mia holds the course record at Detweiller Park in Peoria (15:53.40). But before all of that, Deb was a high school girl in 1974 — a time when there weren't many sports for girls at all, and no cross country to speak of. She ran the mile and the two-mile, got mad about placing last, and decided she was going to be #1. A male coach never quite understood what was going on in her head. It was a woman — her friend and coach Jody Gitelis — who came in, talked to her, and changed the course of her life. Deb has spent her coaching career giving that back. "You only have so many great races in you." "We will not be the same team in August that we are in September." "You care about them as a person — that's how you get the buy-in." "Physical fitness won't get you over the hump — buy-in and trusting the process will." "Success is not winning — we are still fighting to do our best."
