Simone Biles has successfully left her mark in the gymnastics world. However, her impact isn’t limited to the gymnasium. Biles has always been vocal about anxiety and mental health. She even took some time off from the competitive sport to prioritize her mental health. The huge step at that time caused a massive uproar in the sporting community. However, the young champion stuck to her decision. It gave many other athletes the leeway to open up about their struggles, too. And recently, NFL player Micah Parsons opened up about the social pressure and the anxiety he has been feeling.

Earlier today, Dallas Cowboys‘ linebacker, Micah Parsons, took to Twitter to talk about his mental state. In his tweet, Parsons mentioned that he has been developing severe social anxiety, recently. Furthermore, the surrounding people are of no help to his condition. Instead, their presence is worsening the situation for him. Additionally, it is getting hard for him to enjoy his time in public spaces.
Following Parsons’ tweet, many responded to the tweet with unkind words. Some suggested the player retire. Others reminded him that this comes with being a star and he should learn to deal with it. However, some offered kind words to the anxious player. Among them was the soon-to-be wife of fellow NFL Player Jonathan Owens, Simone Biles.

In 2021, all eyes were on Simone Biles during the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. Everyone was looking forward to Biles performing the Yurchenko double pike. It was a feat that wasn’t seen in female gymnastics before Simone Biles came along and performed it a year before. However, just before the most awaited event, Biles withdrew from the event citing her mental health as the main reason.
Contrary to the reaction that was expected, Biles received massive support from the sporting community. Even the fans and the media appreciated the Olympian for taking the big step. While there were a few who were not happy, they did not make a big difference to the gymnast.
