Doing It for YOU- Chloe Cho on Mental Blocks, Grief, and Trusting Your Voice
from PerformHappy with Rebecca Smith · host Rebecca Smith
In this episode of the Perform Happy Podcast, I sit down with college gymnast Chloe Cho to talk about mental blocks, grief, trusting your voice, and learning to make gymnastics a choice that belongs to you. Chloe shares her journey through elite gymnastics, the mental challenges she faced, and how losing her dad during her freshman year changed the way she thought about gymnastics and her own identity.Chloe opens up about hearing people tell her she needed to keep doing gymnastics for her dad, and the moment she realized that she couldn't do the sport for someone else. She explains why choosing gymnastics for herself didn't mean shutting other people out, but instead meant understanding that the decision to keep going had to be hers.We also talk about mental blocks, learning to accept difficult days, and shifting from asking “why do I feel this way?” to focusing on what you can give today. Chloe shares why protecting your love for gymnastics matters, why young athletes deserve to listen to themselves, and how learning to trust your own voice can carry far beyond the gym.In this episode you will hearWhy gymnastics needs to be your choiceHow grief can change your relationship with sportWhy mental blocks don't mean something is wrong with youThe importance of listening to your own voiceHow athletes can protect their love for gymnasticsWhy doing your best doesn't have to mean being perfectThis conversation is a powerful reminder that gymnastics can be something you share with the people who support you, while still being something you choose for yourself.Learn exactly what to say and do to guide your athlete through a mental block with my new book "Parenting Through Mental Blocks" Order your copy today: https://a.co/d/g990BurFollow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/complete_performance/Join my FaceBook page: https://www.facebook.com/completeperformancecoaching/Check out my website: https://completeperformancecoaching.com/Write to me!
