Simone Biles has become the most decorated gymnast in just two Olympic Games. However, the athlete showed promise since she was just a child. Moreover, the gymnast has been competing in the World Championships since 2013.

She also has had quite a successful career at the Worlds. Additionally, she had a brilliant run at her first World Championships in 2013. The young gymnast won four medals, including two gold in the all-around and floor exercise at the meet.

The advice Simone Biles received from her father

Biles has surpassed numerous obstacles since her first introduction to gymnastics to become the GOAT of the sport. However, the journey was not easy for the two-time Olympian. But her father offered her some advice once. And it helped the gymnast cope with the challenges of the sport to this day.

The Olympian opened up about her father’s advice during an interview with a news network. During the interview, Biles expressed her love for the sport.

She said, “I guess I love the freedom of the sport. There was no right or wrong that you could do this. You didn’t have to have one particular body type. You made everything mold into what you were born with.”

Additionally, the gymnast continued to say the role of talent in gymnastics. During the session, she also revealed the advice that her father gave her once.

Reflecting on the advice, Biles added, “So I think God gives every individual, something special in mine was talent. So to never take it for granted which my dad always told me, ‘Don’t waste God’s gift that he gave you because it’s like it’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.’ “

Ron’s advice must have worked wonders for the gymnast as she went on to win seven medals in the Olympics alone.

“And one day I’ll be too old to do gymnastics. So for now I have to use it to the best of my ability,” continued the GOAT, indicating the concern of retiring that plays in the mind of every athlete.

Biles’ first acquaintance with the sport

Biles has shown talent at the sport since her first introduction to it. Her first experience with the sport was during a 2003 daycare field trip. The seven-time Olympic medalist proved to be talented in gymnastics during the trip.

Imitating the gymnasts during the trip, Biles successfully landed a back tuck. And when a gymnast jokingly asked the child to try it on the beams, she tried her hand, despite the gymnast stating that she was joking.
