When you think of the word “successful,” who’s the first person that comes to mind and why?
As a gymnast and someone who looks up to those who are top of their sport and more especially for a long period of time I would have to go with Simone Biles.
She has overcome a lot of adversity including sexual assault by the dr that was supposed to be looking out for them and abusive coaches.
She pushes herself to be the best she could be and in doing so she had 5 eponymous skills named after her on three different apparatuses.
She also spoke up for her own well being and stopped her competition when she wasn’t in the best frame of mind and had the twisties. Losing your air awareness is very dangerous.
She took hate for that but it didn’t dampen her down and she supported her other team members and friends even coaching them in practices so that they would do the best they could.
She also is an author having wrote her story a number of years ago
