Back in the day, many athletes lacked the resources needed to perfect their craft. However, Lee’s father came up with an idea that she remembers to date. Her father made a balance beam for her to hone her craft, and this paid instant dividends.

“I told him that I wanted to do beam and when I was at home, because, you know, like, when I was younger, my parents, we never really had the money. So it was just like, everything that I had he either made or it was like, something like that,” said Lee.

“So he made me a beam. And whenever I would come home from practice, I would just literally go back outside and start practicing more beam,” she added.
