Conversations surrounding athletes' mental health have been more prevalent at these Olympics than ever before. Champions like Michael Phelps and Naomi Osaka have recently shared how their mental health was affected by the constant pressure they experienced, and Simone Biles' decision to withdraw from gymnastics competitions because her mind and body felt out of sync sparked more discussions on the importance of athletes taking breaks to protect their mental and physical health. Host Lauren Shehadi continues the conversation by speaking with Biles' teammate and friend MyKayla Skinner as well as wrestler Adeline Gray about how they prepared to be in the spotlight.
