When we continually praise pushing through pain, what should we say to our kids when they decide not to.
While many are praising Simone, just as they have with Naomi Osaka, a, for prioritizing her mental well-being, some have questioned her mental fortitude and criticized such a decorated Olympian for being unable to perform at the highest level.
Just for fun, I had shown her a handful of videos of famous gymnasts, and the montage happened to culminate with the replaying of Kerri's famous vault victory at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics. We both watched quietly. After Kerri's first attempt, I audibly sighed at her awkward landing. My daughter looked at me, confused, and I only had enough time to say that she'd just injured her ankle"very badly" before the video cut to Kerri sprinting toward her second vault attempt.
And I don't know how I missed it before, but when I watched her broken body being carried off the gym floor by her smiling coach, Bela Karolyi, I saw the way his hand discreetly nudged her limp arm up into a dutiful wave to fans — like a lifeless puppet put on display.
