What Simone Biles and Waco TX taught me “I wanted it to be for myself. But I was still doing it for other people. It hurts my heart that doing what I love has been kind of taken away from me to please other people.” These words Simone Biles uttered in a NBC Sports interview…

I have a tendency to put myself last. I spend hours each day serving and teaching those I love; and coaching women to be their greatest selves.
