MyKayla Skinner has had a tough few years, and she has managed to come out on top. For episode 193, I catch up with the Olympian about her road to Tokyo and what it was really like when Simone Biles had to take a back seat in 2021. We also talk about the physical and emotional toll that comes with being an elite athlete and how she focuses on what she can control to grow as an athlete and person. Her perspective on letting go of outside perspectives and uncontrollable circumstances is such a good reminder.
