Gabby Douglas and Simone Biles: A Candid Chat About Gymnastics and Life
Gabby Douglas: Hey Simone! Long time, no see! How have you been? The last few years have been a whirlwind, right?
Simone Biles: Gabby! I know, it feels like forever. I’ve been good, just busy with training and, you know, everything that comes with being a gymnast. How about you?
Gabby: Same here, busy, but in a different way. I’ve been focusing on a lot of new ventures outside of gymnastics, but I definitely miss the adrenaline of competing.
Simone: Oh, I definitely get that. Competing gives you a rush like nothing else. Speaking of which, do you ever think about coming back to the sport?
Gabby: Haha, that’s the million-dollar question! Sometimes I do, especially when I see you out there crushing it. But I’m really enjoying exploring other passions now. What about you—how do you keep that balance between training and everything else in your life?
Simone: It’s all about time management and knowing when to take breaks. Gymnastics is intense, both physically and mentally, so I make sure to unplug and do things I love outside the gym. Speaking of which, you were always so good at staying calm under pressure. What’s your secret?
Gabby: Oh, lots of practice and mental conditioning! Visualization and positive self-talk were huge for me. When you’re out there on the floor, it’s just you and the apparatus, right?
Simone: Absolutely. Your focus has to be razor-sharp. Hey, speaking of focus, what’s one thing you’ve learned from your gymnastics career that you now apply to your everyday life?
Gabby: Discipline, for sure. Gymnastics taught me to stay dedicated and persistent, no matter what. It’s a mindset I apply to any project or challenge I take on now. What about you?
Simone: I’d say resilience. There are so many ups and downs in this sport, and learning to bounce back has been a valuable life lesson. By the way, remember that time we couldn’t stop laughing during warm-ups at Nationals?
Gabby: Oh my gosh, yes! I thought we were going to get in so much trouble. But honestly, those moments of laughter and camaraderie are what I miss the most. And the way we pushed each other to be better—there’s nothing like it.
Simone: Exactly! And who knows, maybe we’ll have another chance to laugh and compete together someday. Until then, let’s keep inspiring each other and everyone watching at home.
Gabby: You got it! Here’s to the next chapter, whatever it may bring. Keep shining, Simone!
Simone: You too, Gabby. Always rooting for you!
