Biles on her new role

Simone Biles recently spoke about her new role as a mental health advocate in an interview. The athlete never wanted to opt for this role, which is one of the reasons why she took time to open up about the same.

“So, to kind of be put at the forefront, it’s like… I’m still going through my own thing. So how am I supposed to teach people?” said Biles.

She believes everyone has their own personal struggle and she can only try to help them. However, to be a mental health advocate requires a lot more experience.

“So, I didn’t really want to, but at least we’re going through it together and I could teach them something in that,” she added.

Putting the past behind, Biles moves on, happily, enjoying life away from the sport, focusing on herself, taking one day at a time. As for her fans, they anxiously wait for the news of her arrival, as her future in gymnastics remains in doubt.
