“I Have a Reputation”: Simone Biles Feels Overwhelmed Yet Again as She Ventures to Fulfill Her Long-Pending College Dream

Simone Biles, the current face of gymnastics, is well-known all across the world for her smooth flips and jumps. Since childhood, her interest in gymnastics grew, which pushed her to compete at the elite level. Given that, Biles’ enthusiasm gifted her name, fame, and also the satisfaction of being an inspirational figure. 

The gymnast is also popular for her bold decision to step down from the Olympics, citing mental health issues. She once decided to fulfill her college dream of joining the UCLA Spirit Squad in her Snap Original series.

Another plus point of the athlete is her versatile nature. Simone Biles loves trying new and different things. Given that, she paired with a leading social media platform Snapchat and released an original series called “Daring Simone Biles”. They launched only the first season consisting of 7 episodes and gained 158k subscribers. 

In the series, Biles challenged herself to try new things, starting from DJing to beekeeping and more. In one of the episodes, she found a chance to do what she couldn’t in her past. The gymnast never got to attend college. 

Although she tried it during her senior year at high school, it came up as something entirely new. She struggled with the steps quite a lot of time but ultimately made it to the end.

“I have to really pay attention and get this choreography down,” said the gymnastics G.O.A.T. “I feel like they’re expecting me to nail this easily because I’m a champion athlete.”

Being an Olympic champion is not as easy as it sounds. The difficulty level is beyond one’s imagination. Along the same lines, people expect Biles to excel in everything. So, along with pride, the Olympics brings along several other problems. 

How does Biles make things look easy?

It was a dare that she gave herself to follow up the Spirit Squad routine in 30 minutes. Little did she know that dancing, especially when the time limit is so little, can be tough. 

The fact that she makes things look easy and effortless can’t be ignored. Nonetheless, she’s also human, and it is not easy for her as well. 

“It’s a lot of pressure because a lot of people look up to me and I have a reputation of making things look easy,” Biles said in the episode. “I’ve to dig into my competitive training mindset and perfect this.”
