John Orozco Chats with Simone Biles: The Champions’ Circle
John Orozco: Hey Simone, it’s been a minute! How have you been holding up?
Simone Biles: Hey, John! I’ve been doing great, just staying busy with training and a bit of travel. You know how it is. What about you?
John Orozco: Same here! I’ve been all over the place, coaching, doing commentary, and working on some inspiring projects. Speaking of which, I heard you’re involved in some interesting initiatives lately?
Simone Biles: Yeah, I’m really excited about my partnership with the mental health awareness campaigns. It’s something I’m super passionate about. Remember how we used to talk about the mental game back in training?
John Orozco: Absolutely! Mental toughness is everything in gymnastics. I still tell my athletes that it’s 50% physical and 50% mental. So, what’s the most rewarding part of working with these campaigns?
Simone Biles: Honestly, it’s hearing the stories from fans and athletes who feel supported and understood. It makes all the tough conversations so worth it. How about you? What’s been the highlight of your coaching career so far?
John Orozco: Watching my athletes grow, not just as gymnasts but as people. When they nail a routine they’ve been struggling with, it’s like sharing their victory. It takes me back to our days of endless flips and drills.
Simone Biles: Oh man, those were the days! Remember that time we both tried to perfect the triple-twisting double back, and it seemed like we just couldn’t stick the landing?
John Orozco: (laughs) How could I forget?! I think we both got to a point where we just had to laugh it off. Moments like those taught us perseverance though, right?
Simone Biles: Exactly! It’s those challenges that make the victories so much sweeter. And speaking of victories, I saw your latest online series on overcoming setbacks. It’s really inspiring!
John Orozco: Thanks, Simone! I’m just trying to give back and share the lessons I’ve learned along the way. Plus, it’s a great way to stay connected with the gymnastics community. We all have our battles, right?
Simone Biles: For sure. And it’s so important to have voices like yours out there. So, what’s next for John Orozco? Any big plans we should know about?
John Orozco: Well, I might be making a little comeback to competitive gymnastics. Just kidding! But seriously, I’m focusing on some philanthropic endeavors and maybe even writing a book. Who knows?
Simone Biles: That’s amazing, John! Can’t wait to see what you do next. Whatever it is, I know it’s going to be impactful.
John Orozco: Thanks, Simone! And you keep inspiring us all. Let’s catch up again soon, maybe over some less-than-perfect cartwheels. (laughs)
Simone Biles: (laughs) Absolutely! Take care, John!
John Orozco: You too, Simone!
