In this week's PerformHappy Podcast episode, I had the pleasure of talking with Kyrstin Johnson, whose gymnastics journey is nothing short of inspiring. From starting gymnastics later than most to thriving at an HBCU, Kyrstin's story is a testament to resilience, passion, and mental toughness. But her journey wasn't without challenges.

Instead of letting this setback define her, she used it as an opportunity to grow stronger, both mentally and physically. In our conversation, Kyrstin opens up about overcoming mental blocks, staying confident under pressure, and finding her way back to a new team with even more determination and love for the sport. Whether you're an athlete, coach, or parent, this episode is packed with powerful insights on turning adversity into strength. Kyrstin's story reminds us all that the biggest challenges can lead to the most meaningful growth. In this episode, Coach Rebecca and Kyrstin Johnson talk about: From Late Start to Record-Breaking Champion Kyrstin Johnson’s Trailblazing College Gymnastics Journey. The Power of Supportive Coaching and the Impact of Fun and Pressure-Free Growth. Advice for Handling Injury and College Recruiting Stress in High School Gymnastics. Key Lessons from Mental Coaching for Building Confidence and Self-Belief in Gymnastics. How to Advocate for Yourself in Gymnastics.
