    My Journey: Trust the Process

    She does not discuss why she and her parents chose for her not to be vaccinated. She seems to stand by the choice. She does discuss feeling attacked because of it. Chapter 18: Lots of media awaiting Simone in Tokyo, they got to be part of it (not said in a bitter way!) Flight from CA to Tokyo...

    My Journey: Trust the Process

    My Journey: Trust the Process

    Chapter 13: Coaches didn't encourage pursuit of college gymnastics while training for an Olympics; hadn't done anything actively to pursue one prior to the rules change in May 2019 Didn't take time off for college visits so they wouldn't miss practice Al would schedule a day for all college...

    My Journey: Trust the Process

    It was really interesting to me that after falling on her head on her beam dismount, Leanne was allowed to just get up and walk away and everyone relied completely on her self-assessment--no concussion protocol (there was time!), no professional evaluation on the mat or off. At least it sounds...

    Chapter 4: Won 2017 JO Nationals in her age group and was invited to that camp, but stayed back to train for qualifying elite Broke her foot in warmups (trying to change from doing a front layout to two front tucks to follow the line leader and overrotated). Stayed at the gym with ice...

    My Journey: Trust the Process

    This struck me to. I get that the ones attached to meets were probably more like "working vacations" then truly relaxing ones for her (hopefully her brothers, who were just along for the ride, had fun. I have to wonder how much school they missed, though!). But things like going to California to...

    My Journey: Trust the Process

    I'm reading through Leanne Wong's book and thought I'd post chapter summaries if people are interested in them. Notes on commentary: This written in a very direct style, probably with middle and high schoolers in mind (although my library has it categorized as an adult biography). Three or four...
