Xandon Greenberg, like Alexsis, also takes joy in his interests and studies. But, every strong tree sprouts from a healthy base, roots that bind them! For Carey, it’s her parents.
Carey’s parents never pushed her or her siblings to follow a particular path
Jade Carey’s parents, Brian Carey, and Danielle Greenberg, were former gymnasts, separated amicably when she was young. However, they continued to support Jade and her siblings in their pursuits without letting the divorce affect them. Carey grew up in two different homes. “My philosophy from the beginning was I just wanted her to love the sport on her own. Her dad and I never pushed. We let her guide the ship all the way through. We didn’t talk about gymnastics at home. She could really just develop the way she wanted to,” mentioned Jade’s mother, Danielle Greenberg.
Her parents maintained a friendly relationship even after their split and created a practical custody arrangement around Jade’s training schedule. She typically spends time with her mom from Friday to Monday and with her dad for most of the week for training. Jade Carey also expressed her emotions when she was in Tokyo for the Olympics. “I’m really glad we were able to share this together, My parents have been very influential… My dad coaches me,” said Jade Carey. Hence, Jade’s gymnastics journey has been undoubtedly supported and encouraged by her family’s strong foundation, as everyone is actively involved in each other’s lives.
