Application Project Plan

For the application project I plan on writing a short story. I intend to write from an internal perspective of a competitive athlete and their struggles to succeed at their multiple daily responsibilities. For better accuracy, I am going to use the first hand accounts I have found during research of athlete's struggles with eating disorders to depict a similar situation of events related to my paper. From their accounts I can create a similar story to show both the experiences and research I have thus far found. I want to especially focus on the lead-up to the disorder itself. I think this is a more important focus especially because my paper more closely looks at the reasons why athletes are more susceptible. I may also try to include some influences as well, such as, coaches, family, and teammates.
