Life in a Leo Episode 3: Interview with Bailey McCabe from Auburn Gymnastics

This week I got to interview Bailey McCabe from Auburn Gymnastics. Bailey is entering her third season as a level 10 and is a Sophomore in High School. She competed at JO Nationals in both 2016 and 2017. This year she upgraded her vault to a Yurchenko Full and her beam, where she is doing a triple series (back handspring, layout step-out, layout step-out) and dismounting with a side aerial connected to a full. Her favorite events are bars and beam.  Look for Bailey this season. You can find her on Instagram @baileymccabee or on YouTube.  Good luck Bailey!

Life in a Leo Episode 40: Interview with Olympian and total Inspiration, Betty Okino
Life in a Leo Episode 40: Interview with Olympian and total Inspiration, Betty Okino

February 01, 2019

This week on Life in a Leo, I interviewed the amazing Betty Okino. Betty was part of the 1992 USA Olympic Team. This was the first team to win a medal at the Olympics. This was a time when the athletes had to compete both compulsory and optional routines. Betty was known for her beautiful lines and gracefulness. She has a couple skills named after her. The most famous being the triple turn on beam. 

What I loved about talking to Betty was how much mental toughness she displayed through her career in the sport. She had so much drive and determination that she was able to overcome her fears and achieve her dream of becoming an Olympian. 

Betty has continued to stay involved in the sport, giving back and building on the qualities she thinks make it so unique and important in young girls (and boys) lives. Betty has recently joined the National Team Staff, she also runs her own camp called Peak Training, and choreographs routines all over the country. If you want to learn more, check out www.bettyochoreo.com or find Betty on Instagram @BettyOChoreo or @BettyOkino. 

Thanks everyone for tuning in. If you are competing this weekend, good luck! Hope everyone stays warm and don't forget to point your toes ;)

Life in a Leo Episode 39: Interview with gymnastics PT expert, Marla Ranieri
Life in a Leo Episode 39: Interview with gymnastics PT expert, Marla Ranieri

December 28, 2018

This week on Life in a Leo, I interviewed Marla Ranieri, a physical therapist specializing in gymnastics. As an elite gymnast herself, Marla completely understands what these athletes go through and what they are striving for. She is working to make sure injuries don't keep them from reaching their dreams.  This is done by performing an injury prevention assessment to find out what strength, range of motion and biomechanics deficits a gymnast has that may put them at risk for certain injuries.  

It was fun to learn what got Marla to this place in her career and what she is working to do to improve the care for gymnasts going forward. Definitely check out the app/resource she has created at https://www.betterpt.com/

If you have any feedback or ideas for future episodes, or even want to appear on the show, you can reach us at Rebecca@leotard.com or on Instagram @Rebeccasmomleo. 

Hope everyone has been enjoying the holidays! We want to thank our community for all the support. You guys are the best!! Hope everyone has a safe and very Happy New Year!! Looking forward to more episodes in 2019!

Keep up all the hard work, stretch and condition, and of course, don't forget to point your toes...

November 16, 2018

This week I got to interview the incredibly accomplished Jill Hicks. Jill runs a business called Jill Hicks Consulting where she helps athletes in seven different sports navigate the college recruiting process. Her expertise is gymnastics but the other sports include women's soccer, women's basketball, track & field, cross country, acro& tumbling, and cheer!! In addition to helping young athletes navigate the recruiting process, Jill was an elite gymnast at SCATS and received a scholarship to compete for the Oregon State gymnastics team, where she ended up becoming the assistant coach and transitioned her career as an athlete. Jill moved back to So. CA for a period of time taking on the head coach position at Cal State Fullerton for six years before returning back to Oregon to be with her kids and grandchildren. 
Jill discusses how this process is a marathon and not a sprint, so make sure you are patient with yourself through the process. If you want more information, check out Jill's websitewww.jhicksconsulting.com/
