There are some conversations that just feel like looking in a mirror, and this was one of them. This week, I'm joined by UCLA gymnast Katelyn Rosen, someone I lovingly call my mini me. We dive into what it's really like to compete at the highest level of collegiate gymnastics, navigate the pressure that comes with wearing the UCLA leotard, and fight your way back through the mental struggles that so many athletes experience but so few openly talk about.
We also have a big sister/little sister conversation about life after sport, the emotions that come with entering your final year of college gymnastics, and the uncertainty of what's next when the sport you've dedicated your life to begins to wind down. As two floor performers who approach performance in such a similar way, we also geek out over artistry, performance quality, and what it feels like to truly connect with an audience beyond just the gymnastics.
Whether you're an athlete navigating pressure, someone approaching a big life transition, or just love hearing honest conversations about the highs and lows that come with chasing excellence, I think you're really going to love this one.
