1
I was the fastest girl in America.
2
“Mary Cain!” “There are women here almost twice her age” “being left in her wake.“ I set many national records.
3
And I was a straight-A student.
4
“C’mon, Mary Cain!” When I was 16, I got a call from Alberto Salazar at Nike.
5
He was the world’s most famous track coach and he told me I was the most talented athlete he’d ever seen.
6
During my freshman year in college, I moved out to train with him and his team full time at Nike world headquarters.
7
It was a team of the fastest athletes in the world.
8
And it was a dream come true.
9
I joined Nike because I wanted to be the best female athlete, ever.
10
Instead, I was emotionally and physically abused by a system designed by Alberto and endorsed by Nike.
11
This is what happened to me.
12
When I first arrived, an all-male Nike staff became convinced that in order for me to get better, I had to become thinner, and thinner, and thinner.
13
This Nike team was the top running program in the country.
14
And yet we had no certified sports psychologist.
15
There was no certified nutritionist.
16
It was really just a bunch of people who were Alberto’s friends.
17
So when I went to anybody for help, they would always just tell me the same thing.
18
And that was to listen to Alberto.
19
Alberto was constantly trying to get me to lose weight.
20
He created an arbitrary number of 114 pounds, and he would usually weigh me in front of my teammates and publicly shame me if I wasn’t hitting weight.
21
He wanted to give me birth control pills and diuretics to lose weight— the latter of which isn’t allowed in track and field.
22
I ran terrible during this time.
23
It reached a point where I was on the starting line and I’d lost the race before I started, because in my head all I was thinking of was not the time I was trying to hit but the number on the scale I saw earlier that day.
24
It would be naïve to not acknowledge the fact that weight is important in sports.
25
Like boxers need to maintain a certain weight, or you know everybody always ends up citing the math about how the thinner you are, the faster you’re going to run because you have to carry less weight.
26
But here’s a biology lesson I learned the hard way.
27
When young women are forced to push themselves beyond what they’re capable at their given age, they’re at risk for developing RED–S.
28
Suddenly, you realize you’ve lost your period for a couple months.
29
And then a couple months becomes a couple years.
30
And in my case, it was a total of three.
31
And if you’re not getting your period, you’re not going to be able to have the necessary levels of estrogen to maintain strong bone health.
32
And in my case, I broke five different bones.
33
The New York Times Magazine published a story about how Alberto was training me and nurturing my talent.
34
We weren’t doing any of that.
35
I felt so scared.
36
I felt so alone.
37
And I felt so trapped. And I started to have suicidal thoughts.
38
I started to cut myself.
39
Some people saw me cutting myself and ... sorry.
40
Nobody really did anything or said anything.
41
So in 2015, I ran this race, and I didn’t run super well.
42
And afterwards, there was a thunderstorm going on. Half the track was under one tent.
43
Alberto yelled at me in front of everybody else at the meet, and he told me that I’d clearly gained five pounds before the race.
44
It was also that night that I told Alberto and our sports psych that I was cutting myself.
45
And they pretty much told me they just wanted to go to bed.
46
And I think for me, that was my kick in the head where I was like, “This system is sick.” I think even for my parents in certain ways, once I finally vocalized to them, I mean, they were horrified.
47
They bought me the first plane ride home.
48
And they were like, ”Get on that flight.
49
Get the hell out of there.” I wasn’t even trying to make the Olympics anymore.
50
I was just trying to survive.
51
So I made the painful choice and I quit the team.
52
“After a multiyear investigation, the U.S. anti-doping agency has banned Alberto Salazar from the sport for four years.” “Nike will shut down the Oregon project.” “Nike C.E.O. Mark Parker stepping down from the company in January of 2020.” Those reforms are mostly a direct result of the doping scandal.
53
They’re not acknowledging the fact that there is a systemic crisis in women’s sports and at Nike, in which young girls’ bodies are being ruined by an emotionally and physically abusive system.
54
That’s what needs to change, and here’s how we can do it.
55
First, Nike needs to change.
56
In track and field, Nike is all powerful.
57
They control the top coaches, athletes, races, even the governing body.
58
You can’t just fire a coach and eliminate a program and pretend the problem is solved.
59
My worry is that Nike is merely going to rebrand the old program and put Alberto’s old assistant coaches in charge.
60
Secondly, we need more women in power.
61
Part of me wonders if I had worked with more female psychologists, nutritionists and even coaches where I’d be today.
62
I got caught in a system designed by and for men, which destroys the bodies of young girls.
63
Rather than force young girls to fend for themselves, we have to protect them.
64
I genuinely do have hope for the sport.
65
And I plan to be running for many years to come.
66
And so part of the reason I’m doing this now is I want to end this chapter and I want to start a new one.

왜 이 비디오로 말하기 연습을 해야 하나?

이 비디오는 마리 케인의 경험을 통해 운동선수의 정신적, 육체적 고통을 드러냅니다. 그녀의 이야기는 영어 회화 연습에 매우 유용함을 보여줍니다. 비디오를 통해 우리는 다양한 감정 표현, 자존감의 변화와 같은 복잡한 주제를 담으면서 자연스럽게 영어 표현을 배울 수 있습니다. 이런 맥락의 말하기 연습은 영어 발음 교정이나 영어 쉐도잉에 중요한 요소입니다. 그러므로 비디오를 듣고 나서 반복적으로 따라 하며 자신의 목소리를 비교해 보고, 감정과 억양을 연습하는 것이 좋습니다.

문맥 속의 문법 및 표현

비디오에서 마리 케인이 사용한 몇 가지 핵심 구조를 살펴보겠습니다:

  • I was the fastest girl in America. - 과거의 자신을 돌아보며 현재와의 대조를 통해 감정을 전달합니다.
  • When I first arrived, - 사건의 순서를 명확히 하며 시간 표현을 사용합니다.
  • Alberto was constantly trying to get me to lose weight. - 반복적인 행동을 설명하는 구조로, 상황의 압박감을 강조합니다.
  • I felt so scared. - 강한 감정을 간결하고 명확하게 표현하는 방법을 보여줍니다.

이러한 표현들은 감정을 전달하는 데 있어 매우 중요하며, 영어 회화에서 자주 사용됩니다.

일반적인 발음 함정

비디오에서 마리 케인은 여러 단어를 사용할 때 어색한 발음이나 강세를 보입니다. 특히 영어를 배울 때 어려움을 겪는 발음 요소들을 살펴보면:

  • “thunderstorm” - ‘th’ 발음이 모호할 수 있어 주의가 필요합니다.
  • “emotionally” - 강세와 발음이 복잡하여 연습이 필요합니다.
  • “period” - 이 단어는 특정 발음을 정확히 해야 의미가 전달됩니다.

이러한 단어들을 집중적으로 연습함으로써 영어 발음 교정에 도움이 됩니다. 영어 회화 연습의 일환으로 계속해서 비디오를 듣고 따라 하며 발음을 점검하는 것이 효과적입니다.

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법

쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
