And gets an unexpected reaction.

In October, we ran the coming out story of Mike Nelson, a former four-year swimmer at the University of Iowa.

We are asking athletes who do these stories to also do a video focusing on one memorable aspect of their coming out. In his, Mike talks about finally coming out to his best friend.

If you want to do a short video on an aspect of your coming out, email us (outsports@gmail.com) and we will send you instructions.
