Learning how to "Never Give Up" with NCAA D1 Gymnast Sage Thompson

PerformHappy with Rebecca Smith

On today's episode of the PerformHappy Podcast, I sit down with NCAA gymnastics star Sage Thompson from Oregon State. Sage's story is one of resilience and determination, embodying the "never give up" mindset that so many young athletes strive for. Throughout her career, Sage has faced significant challenges, but she's pushed through with the support of positive coaches and a deep-rooted motivation to excel.
We discuss the types of encouragement that have kept her focused on her goals, even in the face of grief and setbacks. Sage shares valuable advice for young gymnasts who want to build a happy, healthy, and successful career in the sport.
Sage talks about her mental strategy for staying confident and consistent on the beam this upcoming season. If you've ever struggled with staying mentally focused during routines, this segment is a must-listen.

Why Sage Transferred from Utah to Oregon State.
Balancing Expectations in Gymnastics.
How to Overcome Performance Anxiety.
Cancer, Resilience, and Faith.
Finding Love for Gymnastics Amid Pain and Pressure.
