Gymnastics Fail

With most of the world's eyes focused on the 2016 Olympics,  and more specifically the women's gymnastics earlier this week,  I came across this story of one of our favorite gymnasts from 2008.  Shawn Johnson won a gold medal there, but it was not the four gold medals that everyone had predicted.  Although she was one of the top athletes in the world, she felt as though she had failed herself, her team, her family and her country.  In preparation for the 2012 Olympics, she recognized that her identity was not determined by the gold medals that she won or lost.  Listen to the rest of her moving story here.
