Today on the PerformHappy Podcast we have an incredible interview with Braie (Speed) Swann. Swann is not only a former elite gymnast but also a former D1 collegiate gymnast at the University of Arkansas, who has embarked on a transformative journey to become a head coach.

Her refreshing directness and willingness to address sensitive issues, such as abuse in gymnastics, underscore her dedication to transforming the culture of the sport for the better. Swan's story serves as an inspiration to all, reminding us of the positive impact that determined individuals can have on their chosen fields.

Braie's gymnastics career, trauma, and advocacy.
