Pressure is part of the game in gymnastics, but how do the best in the world handle it? On this episode of the PerformHappy podcast, I sit down with three-time Olympian Shallon Olsen from Canada to talk about just that.

Shallon is known for her powerful vaulting, but what sets her apart is her ability to stay calm and focused—even under intense competition pressure. We dive into her mindset, how she keeps her nerves in check, and the strategies she’s developed to thrive when the stakes are high.

If you've ever struggled with performance anxiety or want to know how elite athletes manage pressure, this episode is for you!

In this episode, Coach Rebecca and Shallon Olsen talk about:

Shallon Olsen’s Top Tips on Thriving Under Pressure and Adapting to Challenges.

The Power of Supportive Coaching.

Achieving Greatness Through Teamwork, Consistency, and Mental Training.

Overcoming Injuries with Smart Training and Patience.

What It’s Like Competing Against Simone Biles and Focusing on Your Own Journey.

"Pressure is a privilege. It keeps me accountable for my goals and reminds me how lucky I am to represent Canada on the biggest stage. We don't have to do this—we get to.” – Shallon Olsen
