Ohio State’s missed signs: Cotie McMahon’s PCOS journey

Cotie McMahon’s story is a real eye-opener about how student-athletes’ health concerns can get overlooked. She shared that while at Ohio State, her repeated worries about having PCOS were brushed aside, leaving her feeling unsupported and frustrated. Instead of getting the medical help she needed, she was pushed into more conditioning. When she transferred to Ole Miss, she finally found an environment that listened and provided resources. Since then, she’s thrived on the court and off. It really makes you wonder: Are enough schools truly listening to their athletes’ health needs? #Health #BodyHealth #PCOSAwareness
