Gymnast and two-time Olympic medalist Jordan Chiles reflects on the moments that tested her most — including the Tokyo Games, where a fall felt like failure before becoming something bigger, when she stepped to compete for Simone Biles at the last minute. Joined by her mother, Gina, Jordan shares how belief, repair, and self-talk helped her separate who she is from what she does.
A powerful conversation about identity beyond performance, stepping up when it matters most, and the parents who hold belief when their kids can’t see it themselves.
