In this episode we talk with Makenzie Halliday, who was a former NCAA gymnast at BYU. We are excited to explore this new sport with someone who was a gymnast for 18+ years. Makenzie explores the world of gymnastics and opens up about the mental and physical health of a gymnast.

We also talk about:

  • Growing up in gymnastics.
  • The time commitment of being a gymnast.
  • The differences between collegiate and elite gymnasts.
  • Club gymnastics mentality versus collegiate mentality.
  • Simone Biles and "the twisties."
  • Mental Health in sports.
  • Pushing through pain.
