Simone

So proud of Simone Biles for standing up for herself and sending a message to all young people that it is okay to not be okay some days. We all have days where the pressure is just too much to withstand and taking a moment to regroup is beneficial to our sanity.Every job in the world should incorporate mental health days as time off options. Keep swinging the big bat, Simone . You are awesome!

Now, the other part of this that I don't like is the playing down of the Olympic Committee's new random rules of scoring. Because she is fantastic, suddenly it is decided not to score her on the same scale as others? Her talent and strength is what brought her to the games. It seems as if they were out to bring her down and her team members would have suffered under the weight of it all. Simone knows how to play the game on and off the mat. Give that girl a gold medal for good choices in life!
