Olympic gold medalist Shannon Miller discussed her gymnastics journey, her battle with cancer and what it's like for her now being a sports parent.
It was a question Shannon Miller faced at times during her career, from the first moments her parents took her to Jerry Clavier’s gym located five minutes from her family home in Edmond, Oklahoma, to just before every event at the Atlanta Summer Games in 1996.“You’ve done the work,” her coach, Steve Nunno, would tell her in 1996 as she and herteammates held the expectations of the United States and the world. “Now go have some fun.
“I do think there is this feeling of being invincible, like you just got your whole life ahead of you and you’re so focused on all of these other things going on around you that, a lot of times, your health takes a back seat,” Miller says.
And my sister eventually moved on to some other sports and I begged my parents to keep going. In fact, my coach at one point called them and said,"We’d really like her to come in a few more hours a week.” And I was only going one hour per week. And my mom said, “No, this is plenty for her. She’s so young.” And I begged and begged and my dad finally broke down and said, “I’ll take her. In a couple of weeks, she’ll be tired of it we’ll be off the hook.
