I AM THE BAD THING THAT HAPPENS IN PHILADELPHIA

Thank you @SDixon89 and @ltlafreniere for an intense and powerful keynote on Community Coaches Day at #SLS19 cc @CTJumpstart

.@SDixon89 "Performance...but at what cost? I would have given back my gold medal from Beijing if I could have felt better about myself." #SLS19

.@SDixon89 Coaching young swimmers led to increased self-reflection b/c of her impact on their self-worth. "Becoming a coach changed everything for me." #SLS19

.@SDixon89 living her truth - commenting on her sense of vulnerability and discomfort in telling her story at #SLS19. Came close to backing out several times.

.@SDixon89 "I have developed tools and resources now to help other athletes develop their self-worth." #SLS19

.@SDixon89 "You need to surround yourself with people who know you are enough. You need to ask yourself, 'What are my values?'" #SLS19

.@SDixon89 "Building self-worth isn't a checkbox. It's a lifestyle. We need quiet times to reflect on our values and beliefs about ourselves. Because the negative thoughts do come back." #SLS19

.@SDixon89 "The most important thing we can say to another human is that they're enough. We need to say it over and over and over." #SLS19

.@SDixon89 "I don't know what the next phase looks like but I want to be part of it. It's very exciting." #SLS19

.@SDixon89 "We can't have one-off stories. More and more of us have to speak out. We need to say "I want to be part of this shift." #SLS19

.@SDixon89 Powerful remarks about struggling with self-image after retirement. "There's nothing positive being said in womens' change rooms. We need a positive space...a new normal." #SLS19

.@SDixon89 "We need to develop great humans, not great athletes. When we shift the focus, we will find the supports." #SLS19

.@SDixon89 "We have psychologists for performance; we need to bring in psychologists for self worth. Athletes perform better when they have a stronger sense of self." #SLS19
