No it’s people like you who pander to this woke generation that are the problem. As an athlete who has competed at the highest level mused I know that quitting is never acceptable.It’s her mental health, you know nothing about it! Nobody can comment on someone else’s mental health. It’s attitudes like yours that cause so much damage to the world.
Just because she is a world famous gymnast does not mean she is immune to things affecting her mental health.Simone Biles has bathed in the glory of her enormous talent for many years, and rightfully so, she then went to Tokyo and gave an under par performance and subsequently quit. She then played the much overused mental health card. Being an Olympian is all about pressure there should be pressure, you’re at the top of your game.
Having mental health issues has nothing to do with being woke. Would you rather she competed and badly injured herself because she couldn't concentrate?No it’s people like you who pander to this woke generation that are the problem.

She wasn’t about to injure herself, she performed badly, as an athlete that happens, even to the best. She quit because she didn’t like her score and therefore let her team down.Having mental health issues has nothing to do with being woke.

No, she had a twisties in the air. Is like her brain and muscle aren’t connecting: Just imagine you are crossing the road, and your muscle just froze while your brain registered that as danger, you just can’t do anything. Is dangerous! Twistie is psychological though.Simone Biles has bathed in the glory of her enormous talent for many years, and rightfully so, she then went to Tokyo and gave an under par performance and subsequently quit.

What makes you such an expert? They have lives away from sport and we have no idea whats going on there.She wasn’t about to injure herself, she performed badly, as an athlete that happens, even to the best. She quit because she didn’t like her score and therefore let her team down.
As I said I’m a retired athlete who has competed at the highest level in a team sport, I know all about how important it is to put the team before yourself.What makes you such an expert? They have lives away from sport and we have no idea whats going on there.
I actually had to leave a sports club because of the pressure and then there was the fact that I was made to feel guilty for not wanting to compete every weekend.
She went through something traumatic in her life and that trauma never goes away. Mentally she may not have been okay, therefore affecting her and her practise. That is OKAY.As I said I’m a retired athlete who has competed at the highest level in a team sport, I know all about how important it is to put the team before yourself.
Crikey, I hope you never require any help for mental health issues from someone with the same mindset as youAs I said I’m a retired athlete who has competed at the highest level in a team sport, I know all about how important it is to put the team before yourself.
Tell that to her teammates or the athletes that she originally got selected over.She went through something traumatic in her life and that trauma never goes away. Mentally she may not have been okay, therefore affecting her and her practise. That is OKAY.
Your attitude towards mental health stinksTell that to her teammates or the athletes that she originally got selected over.
The only thing I’d tell them all is to do one. Her mental health is more important than all of them put together. You only have one of you, looking after number one is important.Tell that to her teammates or the athletes that she originally got selected over.
Do you understand what happened to her? To continue on in the competition when she had lost her spatial awareness could quite literally have been suicide for Simone. Saw a tweet yesterday to the effect that it's ridiculous that so many people literally expect her to out and break her neck for them just to keep them happy. Not clear from your next post if you are an athlete or not, but you should know that in this case, nobody but Simone is in a position to make the decision regarding whether she should keep going.Simone Biles has bathed in the glory of her enormous talent for many years, and rightfully so, she then went to Tokyo and gave an under par performance and subsequently quit.

Sadly we live in a world where metal toughness is not celebrated nearly enough. Many, many people will have been through incredibly traumatic experiences, not everyone chooses to let it define the rest of their lives. I truly worry for future generations who are being raised to think that blaming everything on mental health issues is acceptable.Crikey, I hope you never require any help for mental health issues from someone with the same mindset as you
The fact that you’re believing this newest version of her story is laughable.Do you understand what happened to her?

You clearly understand nothing about sport.The only thing I’d tell them all is do one. Her mental health is more important than all of them put together. You only have one of you, looking after number one is important.
I don’t undertand nothing about sport? I trained in martial arts from a young age until my teens, my father was my teacher. I lost him in my teens in a traumatic accident and I stopped training. It took me the best part of a decade to get back to training and I have constant mental blocks when I train because of the trauma. What Simone went through is completely different but it is traumatic and that will have an effect on her and what she does.You clearly understand nothing about sport.
