Simone Biles: ‘It’s Okay Sometimes to Sit Out the Big Competitions to Focus on Yourself’

EXCERPT:

BILES: “I say put mental health first because if you don't then you're not going to enjoy your sport and you're not going to succeed as much as you want to. So it's okay sometimes to even sit out the big competitions to focus on yourself, because it shows how strong of a competitor and person that you really are, rather than just battle through it.”
