McKayla Maroney Instagram – Balance beam was my worst event, and It was mostly mental. That’s one of the reasons I’m so passionate about the mind, and how we think because I know if I went to a sports psychologist, or had Suni Lee’s beam coach, I would’ve been better😂

Looking back at my career, I wish I did a lot of things different. I wish I didn’t come back so fast after the Olympics. I wish I would’ve rested for a full year instead of getting 3 surgeries, screws in my tibia, and foot, and heading right back to a World Championships that next season. 🤦‍♀️ I had nobody telling me otherwise so I just didn’t know any better.

I haven’t talked about it much, but I completely burnt out after 2013 world championships. I went from training 8 hours a day, to not being able to get out of bed with fatigue. I was having panic attacks everyday because I felt so bad about missing practice. I didn’t know what was wrong with me.
I tried for two years to get healthy, but I’d get back in the gym for a month, and then get sick again. 😔
There were A LOT of layers to what I was going through, and it took about 7 years to get fully through it.

Now I know a lot of my health issues were connected to the abuse that was happening in the sport. My body just decided NO MORE, before I could. It broke my heart to walk away from the sport, but honestly that’s life!

Sometimes the chapter closes before you’re ready, and you still have to jump.

I just want to say… It’s ok to look back, and have regrets. It’s ok to notice where you could’ve done better, and cringe at past decisions lol. That’s just part of growing up. We do better when we know better.

It’s how well we absorb those lessons, forgive what we didn’t know, and implement them moving forward that really matters. Even if you feel lost, stuck, or like things will never get better — Do not give up on yourself. Ever. Continue to fight for yourself, and your happiness, things can get better.
