Youth Olympic bronze medal winning gymnast Emma Spence Joined me this week. Emma is the bronze medalist in vault from 2020 Canadian elite championships, the 2018 youth olympic bronze medalist in vault and Szombathely World Cup bronze in Beam.
Emma and I talked about visualization and performance state, and how as a gymnast competing in different events the manipulation of mental energy is huge. The cost of high performance sport and impact on ones body, and Emmas experience at the 2018 youth Olympic Games where she was the flag bearer for Canada in the closeing ceremonies. I have always had a great deal of respect for gymnast but after this conversation I was really in awe of the sport and what it takes from athletes to compete at a high level.
