This week on the PerformHappy Podcast, Coach Rebecca dives into a powerful Q&A session centered around one of the most difficult crossroads in an athlete’s journey—deciding whether to keep going or walk away from their sport. Whether you’re deep in upgrade season, dreading practice, or feeling the spark fade, this episode offers clarity and compassion for athletes (and their parents) navigating burnout, fear, and identity.

Coach Rebecca shares personal stories from her own gymnastics career, candid conversations with athletes, and the key questions every gymnast should ask before making a decision they might regret—or celebrate.

Whether you're the athlete considering a change, or the parent watching your child wrestle with uncertainty, this episode is a must-listen.

In this episode, Coach Rebecca talks about:

• What to do if you’re falling out of love with your sport
• The difference between burnout and being truly done
• How fear, pain, or pressure can cloud your decision-making
• Why it’s okay to redefine what your gymnastics journey looks like
• Four essential questions to ask before making a choice to stay or go
• How to create your own version of success (even if it doesn’t include leveling up)
• Tools for finding clarity—especially if college recruiting pressure is weighing you down

“If you had no pain, no fear, and no deadlines… would you still love your sport? That answer tells you everything.” – Coach Rebecca
