Róisín McGettigan-Dumas has more than a brief cameo in Lauren Fleshman’s excellent book Good for a Girl; My Life Running in a Man’s World which won the William Hill Sports Book of the Year last year.
McGettigan-Dumas was on an athletics scholarship at Providence College over 20 years ago and became good friends with Fleshman through the circuit. They co-created the ‘Believe I Am’ training journals and pitched ideas to Nike about product lines that would help women shift their mindset from negative thinking.
