Review: The Balance: My Years Coaching Simone Biles

The Balance: My Years Coaching Simone Biles The Balance: My Years Coaching Simone Biles by Aimee Boorman
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Interesting read about Simone Biles old coach. As life happens their paths diverge; each going their own way presuming new personal goals/achievements. She does talk about Larry Nassar and the massive cover up. Human being sometimes can see only what they want to see at times; we can be so blind. And then realizing later (most anyway) of how we fucked up. She always talked about the Karolyi's toxic training environment at their camp (and how they were welcomed when the defected by USA Gymnastics). Some coaching styles are cruel, abusive and were considered "normal" and "okay." This was enlightening.
