Her book, Secret Warrior, is a memoir following her mental health journey. Using the recurring theme of “faith over fear” to reduce the stigma associated with impaired mental health and encourage those suffering from mental health issues to reach out—to coaches, student-athletes, and to all people across the world— she offers real direction, experiences, and personal stories to teach and reassure those adversely affected by the dynamics of the mind and body experience.
