Next time she’s interviewed, which journalist will have the cajones to ask the hard question?
Who do you think is the favorite in that setting? Have you ever seen Addy Wiley interviewed? Not merely last week. Period. This is someone who had a tennis ball sized cancerous tumor pressing against her lung in 4th grade. That was fear. Answering questionings about Colleen Quigley's desperate flails would be cupcakes.
Big time. Apparently stating that her college coach was more abusive than Wetmore is not allowed on these boards. Karen Harvey had to leave coaching entirely to run away from all the athletes she abused. Pretty hypocritical of Quigley to criticize former CU athletes for not speaking out...
What did Karen Harvey do? I hard she was intense, but that’s it. She was very vocal about fueling enough, so it couldn’t have been under fueling. She also had a good track record with keeping her girls healthy and uninjured.
Mods deleted my post about Magness going to Dr. Brown.
Magness himself used to talk openly about this (on the old dyestat forums I believe). He said Dr. Brown gave him thyroid, retested, then said (I’m paraphrasing, as Magness likely was) “that’s good, but since you’re an athlete, I want to make it even better.”
BTW what happened to her? She was doing great then gets dropped by Nike. Then she rarely races. Did she just get tired of training at elite level? I can understand that. It's a grind. Probably even more so for a pretty girl who could have something else.
Writing this NOT for the message board trolls, but for the decent people who are curious enough to be reading these threads and might not know otherwise...
Steve Magness is an AUTHOR. He is far from a "grifty influencer" or whatever else you want to call him. He realized he was more interested (and more talented) at researching coaching and performance than actually coaching or competing himself. Steve has said talked about his role at NOP happening because Salazar was looking for someone young and naive to manipulate into playing along with his dirty games. If anything, Magness deserves a massive kudos for overcoming the abuse tactics of Salazar (the threats, the withheld pay checks, the inconsistent praise and rewards) and deciding to step away from what should've been his dream job. Remember that he was only 24 when he took that position.
As for his current gig, most of you writing on this message board could hold a candle to what he has to offer as far as research insights into coaching and high performance. He routinely tweets and posts things that come from his research and book writing as any author with half a brain would do to advertise their work. Grifty influencers use half baked pseudoscience to claim their steroid-filled bodies are the result of "avoiding seed oils and taking cold plunges".
Just pick up his book on Amazon for like 15$ and do some of your own work to learning more about his story before just bashing on someone shamelessly. I also HIGHLY recommend listening to this interview. Everyone is free to believe what they may about his side of the NOP story, but still he gives a very compelling narrative for his experience and I'd bet solid money none of these message board trolls would have the moral fiber to respond better than Magness did.
Magness is NOT an author. At best he is a paraphraser. His books are accumulations of other people's research. He contributes NOTHING ORIGINAL to any of the fields in which he is writing about.
BY DEFINITION HE IS A GRIFTER. He writes a book summarizing (and stealing from) 3 other books. He then tweets cheesy pseudo-intellectual nonsense to trick people into buying his books.

I think you meant "cojones."
Maybe not. It would take having big drawers to fit the cojones in order to ask the questions. The only person would be Gault, if he were to catch her in the mix zone. Though she would avoid him like the plague and head for the citius slurpers sycophants.
She doesn’t know how to market herself though, most people do not like her
She’s easily in the top 10 most discussed athletes on this board.
Discussion = clicks. Clicks = money.
Yes clicks for the website, money for for the website, not for her lol. all she is doing is making allegations that are unsubstantiated , making her look like a clown
Does anyone find Quigley to just be insufferable? I mean this is a woman who has been living on the dime of sponsors and her parents ever since graduating college, and complains about how unjust and awful the world is? Give me a break... Her social media feed is practically her just getting massages, lattes, and spending time at various high-altitude camps. She seems to be wildly unaware of her own privilege, and is the first to attack anyone who brings light to this. She trained (and defended) with a sentenced cheater - she seriously has no right to suggest the same upon other athletes. Would love to ask Quigley if she would believe the athlete she is calling out if this athlete just said "I never cheated". That seemed to be a good enough excuse for Shelby, so let's see how it stands for others. The most apt axiom is as old as time: 'rules for thee and not for me'
Actually, I don’t think she ever defended Shelby. If fact, I remember her making a comment that indicated the opposite. I only remember because I was surprised that all the other teammates were defending Shelby so fiercely.

Yes, thanks for stating this, which is I hope for most who read it, the obvious.
He is a rank grifter. it's crystal clear from all of his posts.

Ouch. So Malcom Gladwell and David Epstein aren't authors either?
