Catching Up with Courtney Kupets: A Heart-to-Heart with Shawn Johnson
Shawn Johnson: Courtney! It’s so great to see you. I swear, it’s like a mini-reunion every time we meet. How have you been?
Courtney Kupets: Shawn! It’s been forever. Honestly, I’ve been fantastic but super busy. Between coaching at Georgia, raising my kids, and sneaking in some “me-time,” things have been a whirlwind. And how’s life treating you?
Shawn Johnson: Oh, you know, just balancing my YouTube channel, mommy duties, and training for living room dance parties with my son. *laughs* I totally get the busy life. Speaking of, how’s coaching going? Any rising stars that we should keep an eye on?
Courtney Kupets: The team is doing amazingly well. These girls are so driven and talented. Every practice, I see pieces of myself in them. It’s surreal. We’ve got a couple of gymnasts who could totally be breakout stars in the next couple of seasons.
Shawn Johnson: That’s so exciting! It must be so rewarding to see them grow. Do you ever get the itch to jump back in there and show them how it’s done?
Courtney Kupets: *laughs* Oh, definitely! The urge is real. Sometimes when I’m demonstrating a move, I can’t resist doing a full routine. But then I remember the aches that come afterward and decide to stick to coaching. Do you feel the same way when you watch gymnastics competitions?”
Shawn Johnson: Absolutely. There’s no way to describe the nostalgia. I mean, my heart races just watching them flip and twist. It’s like I can feel every move. But for now, my tumbling is restricted to the occasional tumble with my son in our living room. *laughs*
Courtney Kupets: Oh, the joys of motherhood! It’s funny how our daily “workouts” have shifted from intense training sessions to chasing after our little ones. And speaking of shifting, how has transitioning to life post-gymnastics been for you?
Shawn Johnson: It’s been a journey, for sure. Finding new passions, redefining my identity outside gymnastics, and learning to balance everything has been a bit of a roller coaster. But it’s also been incredibly fulfilling. Plus, I’ve loved connecting with fans in new ways, like through social media and our channel. How about you?
Courtney Kupets: It’s been similar for me. Once I found my groove in coaching and settled into family life, everything just clicked. Every new challenge is an opportunity to grow, and I wouldn’t trade this chapter for anything. So, what’s next on your agenda, super mom?
Shawn Johnson: Well, besides planning the next family escapade, I’m working on some exciting projects for our channel. Plus, I’m always on the lookout for ways to inspire the next generation of athletes, just like you. How about we schedule another meet-up soon? Maybe we can do a joint workout session!
Courtney Kupets: That sounds perfect. Count me in! It’s always a great time catching up with you, Shawn. Let’s keep inspiring and supporting each other, inside and outside the gym. Deal?
Shawn Johnson: Deal! Here’s to more laughter and fewer somersault-induced backaches. Until the next time, Courtney!
Courtney Kupets: Until then, Shawn. Take care!
