This has to be the best post on this site, ever. What an incredibly eloquent tribute from one Stanford player to another. Just fabulous. Mental health awareness is so, so important. Thanks for sharing! Please donate to the cause, as well.

There are friends, and then there are true friends. 

Katie Meyer was a true friend, in every sense of the word. If you knew her, then I’ll never be able to do her justice. If you didn’t know her, then I’ll just have to try my best. 

I have this random memory that says everything to me about the kind of person she was. During my junior year at Stanford, I tore my ACL. That’s obviously an athlete’s nightmare, especially during such a critical year. Your whole routine — your whole identity — is taken away. I had an amazing group of friends who helped me get through it, but Katie always took it to a whole different level. When I finally felt strong enough to jog for the first time after my surgery, she kept saying, “Let me know the exact time you’re going to go over to physical therapy, because I gotta be there to cheer you on.”
