MARTIN, Tenn. – The University of Tennessee at Martin Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) proudly presents Kate Fagan as a Mental Health Awareness Speaker on Monday, Feb. 4. The event – which is free and open to the public – will take place in Skyhawk Fieldhouse at 7:30 p.m.
Fagan served as a columnist and feature writer for ESPN.com and ESPN The Magazine, as well as an on-air talent for ESPN for seven years. She frequently appeared on "Outside the Lines" and "E:60" and was a core member of The Friday Four. She also made over 150 appearances on "Around the Horn", where she served as the show's first female host in 2017.
Born in Schenectady, NY, Fagan is also the author of "What Made Maddy Run", which spent one month as the No. 1 New York Times best-seller on the Sports list. The 2017 book addresses the important issues of anxiety, depression and suicide in a perfectionist, social-media driven society. She is also the author of the memoir "The Reappearing Act" about her experience coming out as a women's basketball student-athlete at the University of Colorado.
In addition to her work with ESPN, Fagan is a sought-after speaker on athlete mental health and the variables facing female athletes. She recently served as the commencement speaker at her alma mater in May of 2017 while also routinely hosting events and moderating panels both for brands and for non-profits.
Fagan is a co-host of the "Free Cookies" podcast, which blends wellness, food and humor. She was named a 2018 Webby finalist for "Best Sports Podcast."
