Mental Gymnastics with Brooklyn Moors and Dr. JD Barton

We’re so excited to kick off a new monthly series, Mental Gymnastics, with Dr. JD Barton (who you may also recognize as our West Coast correspondent)! This series creates space for retired gymnasts to share their stories, memories, struggles, and triumphs from their time in the sport.

Our first guest needs no introduction. She’s a 2020 Olympian, 2025 NCAA and Big Ten floor champion, and queen of artistry — Brooklyn Moors. Brooklyn joins us to talk about working through a mental block that persisted throughout her career, having her Olympic dream delayed by the pandemic, and how she learned to see herself as more than just a gymnast.
