Stanford University for his success. Long before Riley Ruth did this as a gymnast on the U.S. Men's National Team, he was doing this in his neighborhood and most other places. Yes, that's why I joined competitive gymnastics. I watched the 2008 Olympics and saw someone in the ring and wanted to be like that myself. So I joined the next year and quit playing basketball. soccer. Amal then quit baseball and continued solely with gymnastics for the next 14 years. That LED. He joined the Stanford gymnastics team under head coach Tom Gilliam for 22 years. Almost half of the national team has ties to Stanford University, and the coach also led the Tokyo men's Olympic team. It's endless. One of the things that drew me into this sport was that he wasn't just a thrill seeker or an adrenaline junkie, he had endless possibilities when training. Even after graduating, you still have the ability to train with your team. Why is that so important to training at Stanford? It's like a national team camp. Every day, you're just being held accountable by some of the best people in the game. Wobbler people seem to spend a lot of time in the air. In reality, they spend more time in their heads. What people don't realize, I mean, is how mental this sport is and how much effort you have to put in. Just visualize and think about how you think about things. And his main goal this year is to be one of the five players who will eventually make the Olympic team. That's what I'm aiming for. I don't think it's out of reach. Well, if I can achieve that, then my life goal has been achieved and I can just rest for the rest of my life. Honestly, it's rusty. That might be the only thing Riley Ruth can't stand on her way to Paris. I'm Deirdre Fitzpatrick. The conversation continues in this week's “Ask the Way to Paris” podcast.Riley and Deirdre explain how Stanford's tiered accountability system works and how to apply it.
