Simone vs Herself – Sept 28th
Soon after her previous video, another episode was posted on Facebook.
This starts with Simone arriving Tokyo. She was feeling ready at that moment in time.
But qualifications did not go nearly as well as she expected.
The problems with confidence began before the Team Final.
Simone does not do Yurchenko 3/2. Yet was unable to Amanar in the vault warm-up. She did Yurchenko 3/2. Cecile didn’t see it coming.
Coaches — and Simone’s parents — supported her decision to withdraw. It was the right decision.
I feel awful for Simone, however. To train 5 years and have to withdraw. Damn. That’s hard.

Big Shot – TV series
Big Shot is an American sports comedy-drama streaming television series.
An OLD SCHOOL NCAA Division 1 winning men’s basketball coach gets fired for throwing a chair at a ref. The only job he can get is coaching High School girls at a private school in California.
It’s standard family friendly Disney fare, appropriate for kids age-8 and up.
I only mention it here as Big Shot is another small step in the public awareness that coaches must be ETHICAL.
