Simone Biles' decision to withdraw from the Olympics drew both criticism and praise. I imagine most of the critics never stood in her shoes. 

This week I talk with Tony Diaz. He is a runner, a cyclist, and Wushu martial artist. He holds several national titles in Wushu and competed in the Wushu World competition and placed 5th.

He said, "I saw the look on Simone's face and recognized she was in trouble, because I've had that same look on my face."

Tony is passionate to help others who struggle with anxiety and the pressure to perform when your mind is fighting against you. He is quick to say that he's not experienced the level of pressure as Simone, but he's had a taste of it. And his perspective and insights give a glimpse into the real struggle many people face in life.
