Seasoned gymnastics reporter Andrea Joyce speaks with hosts M.J. Acosta-Ruiz and Lindsay Czarniak about the pressure Simone Biles was facing and why she made the right choice in deciding to withdraw from the Olympic team and individual all-around finals to focus on her mental health. Joyce says that when she started in the business, "nobody would have ever, ever, ever admitted to having any kind of problem" with mental health, but progress is being made as more athletes like Biles and Michael Phelps share their stories.
