Nastia Liukin: A Fall, Not a Fail

The Squeeze

Olympic champion Nastia Liukin joins the Lautners to discuss rebuilding yourself after success at a young age and the pressure that comes with competing at the highest level of a sport centered around perfection. Despite being gymnasts themselves, Nastia's parents tried everything to keep her away from the sport, but her passion and talent were undeniable. Nastia talks about the effects of achieving her “life-long” dream at age 18 and the years trying to find her identity following her “retirement”. She speaks to her 2007 injury and the toll it took on her confidence, as well as falling on her face—a fall she calls the defining moment of her career, and a fall that earned her a standing ovation for the first time. Nastia also discusses her time on Special Forces: World's Toughest Test, and talks about the Nastia Liukin Cup, an annual competition offering gymnasts an opportunity to be mentored and to feel proud of their accomplishments—a joy Nastia says shouldn't be reserved for just the 5 girls on the Olympic team.

Imagine working towards something for the first couple of decades of your life and that's all you knew. Then at age 22, it all ends. That path has gone and you have to reinvent a new path. That's what happened to Nastia Liukin. Nastia was born a gymnast and went on to win an Olympic gold medal in 2008. Then four years later, she decided to make a run for the 2012 Olympics. After a critical fall from the uneven bars, Nastia had a Why Not Now? moment that will give you chills. Nastia reinvented the vision she had for herself and took action. This woman has grit.

Darrah is a four-time founder, author, and coach who used to cringe at the word "coaching." But she was called to do this and was begged by her first clients to work with them. When they saw massive and transformational results in their lives and businesses, she stopped resisting and continued to serve. After spending 10 years over-working and feeling burnt out while building a credit card processing company into 38 states and a networking events company for over 30,000 people, she learned the wrong way to do it. She then discovered that there was a better way. A prolific writer and interviewer, she's worked with Shaq, Seth Godin, Bobbi Brown, Jillian Michaels, Adam Grant, Robert Herjavec, Nastia Liukin, Cam Newton, and the list goes on, with well over 1 million views of her work. Her motto, "Design your life, build a career to fund it, and a network to support it," has inspired thousands to reach higher and dream bigger. She was even named as #1 to follow by BossBabe Magazine. Show Highlights: You should understand your own intrinsic value before you tie it to things outside of yourself that don't define you in the first place. —Darrah BrusteinI borrowed confidence from people who helped me until I could really embody it for myself. —Darrah BrusteinWhen you create a meditation practice, without you even noticing it, it starts to level you out so that when something happens, it no longer feels like it's the end of the world. —Darrah BrusteinIt's important to surround myself with people who get it—who tell me what I need to hear, not necessarily what I want to hear—and people who are on some sort of journey or path that is similar even if it's not identical. —Darrah BrusteinMy real motto is first, design your life, then reverse engineer your business to elevate and uplift that, then build the network to make it more fun and open the doors. —Darrah BrusteinPeople are the ways that the doors open. —Darrah BrusteinBeing in tune with your intuition is the GPS for life. —Darrah BrusteinIf you've hit a brick wall, go back to the people who know you and love you and borrow the confidence. —Darrah BrusteinAction is the kryptonite to any sort of "stuck-ness." —Darrah BrusteinIf someone offers to help you and you're denying it, deep down, you're rejecting love. —Darrah Brustein Darrah's final thoughts: Movement and momentum is important. When you take one baby step, and then another and another, you've walked a mile. Sometimes you don't realize it, but you have. Just taking those small, simple steps can be all the difference.

Imagine working towards something for the first couple of decades of your life and that's all you knew. Then at age 22, it all ends. That path has gone and you have to reinvent a new path. That's what happened to Nastia Liukin. Nastia was born a gymnast and went on to win an Olympic gold medal in 2008. Then four years later, she decided to make a run for the 2012 Olympics. After a critical fall from the uneven bars, Nastia had a Why Not Now? moment that will give you chills. Nastia reinvented the vision she had for herself and took action. This woman has grit. She's the entrepreneur of a new mentoring app for female athletes called Grander and she's become quite the online influencer and blogger with a following of more than 2 million people. In this episode, Nastia shares her story and we talk about everything from navigating a 180 degree turn in your career to the topic of quitting, body shaming and mentoring. She also tells us something that her Mom always used to say to her when she wanted to quit, which will have you rethinking your decision when you want to throw in the towel.

Included in the hundreds of athletes she has coached or mentored are Olympic champions Simone Biles, Jordan Wieber, Kyla Ross, Madison Kocian, Laurie Hernandez and Nastia Liukin.For Valorie, life is a grand adventure that all comes down to choices.The moment she found out she had breast cancer is a prime example of the way she chooses to live her life.In essence, she became grateful that her form of cancer was treatable. Grateful that she could go get chemotherapy for it and she’s continued to live her life that way ever since.In this conversation, we discuss why she doesn’t believe in failure, why being a pessimist is the easy way out, and why gratitude is the most important habit to train.Valerie has an infectious personality and this incredible mindset that, “I get to…” rather than “I have to…” and I think it’s something we can all apply to our own lives.I think you’re really going to love learning from her.This episode is brought to you by Athletic Greens.Receive a free 20-count travel pack of Athletic Greens (valued at $99) with any purchase!Claim here: athleticgreens.com/findingmasterySupport for Finding Mastery also brought to you by Health IQ:Health IQ uses science & data to secure lower rates on life insurance for health conscious people including runners, cyclists, strength trainers, vegans, and more.Learn more and get a free quote at healthiq.com/findingmastery

Al Trautwig (1:43:00) gave the worst PR interview that confirmed everything we already know about him; he's willfully ignorant, tries not to do his homework, and sees gymnastics as an "esoteric" sport too complicated for the average human. It was like listening to an old white man who hates anything non-baseball. His misogyny was evident when he compared two athletes with legitimate medal chances to each other. His factually correct statements about Gabby Douglas, "didn't look like a gold medalist" and "has fallen off the beam the last two times she's gone" to Sam Mikulak who he says, in stark contrast to Gabby, "every once in a while makes the odd mistake." Funny way to compare two potential medalists when Sam has fallen at almost every single competition he's entered into for years. The rage continues...

Uncle Tim, Lauren, and Jessica chat about the best upgrades, moments, skills and routines, including: Scoring: don't get too excited, there was a stick bonus in place. Text book bars that made our hearts sing: Madison Kocian, Brenna Dowell and Laurie "Baby Shakira" Hernandez. Injuries that took some out and others down: Norah Flatly, Marissa Okaely and Kyla Ross. Which 2000 Babies (also known as juniors who will turn 16 in the Olympic year) will be a major threat for the 2016 Olympic team. Yes, this means we talked all about Ragan "Fievel" Smith. Ashton Locklear and the Mystery of the Zero Scores solved! Bailie Key's premier meet as a senior gymnast! Finally! Brenna Dowell had a rough day with a terrifying beam fall, but we loved her toe-on tkatchev caught in mixed grip to Ezhova! Will this help or hurt her chances of making the World team?

What's next for Emily Gaskins and Steve Nunno. Maybe he was too calm and that's what hurt her performance.

Aly Raisman looked gutted after her mistiming on floor led to a fall, but we saw big improvements from her. Our favorite moments: Abby Paulson's aerial layout series on beam; Trinity Thomas being adopted by Lauren; Maggie Nichols owning the podium; Polina Shchennikova's bars; Simone and her team flying on a private jet; Kaitlin deGuzman's toe point; Deanne Soza, Deanne Soza and DEANNE SOZA!

Two women have repeated as the Olympic all-around champion in back to back Olympic Games, Larisa Latynina of Soviet Union in 1956 and 1960, and Vera Caslavaka of Czechoslovakia in 64 and 68. No American all-around gold medalist (we’ve only had four ever!), has ever made a second Olympic team; only one has even officlally tried, Nastia Liukin, by competing at the Olympic Trials. It's pretty common to make another Olympic team. Four Olympic all-around gold medalists have made a second Olympic team after winning all-around good: Larisa Latynina, Věra Čáslavská, Ludmilla Tourischeva, and Nadia Comăneci. 156: Pan Am Games Event Finals and Secret Classic Preview Secret Classic: What Does Success Here Mean 106: Biles and Ross Dominate the 2014 US Secret Classic 2014 Senior Secret Classic Competition Photo Gallery 2014 Junior Secret Classic Competition Photo Gallery Photo Gallery of Podium Training at the 2014 Secret Classic 105: Chicago Secret Classic Preview, Cuba is Back & Nadia Promotes Adult Gymnastics Episode 42: The 2013 Secret US Classic from Chicago Episode 41: Laurie Hernandez & Coach Maggie Haney Episode 9: Chellsie Memmel, Swiss Cup & FIG Presidential Proposals 148: Shannon Miller Episode 28: Kristen Maloney Episode 31: Elise Ray Episode 33: Simone Biles & Her Coaches Episode 48: Kyla Ross 61: Katelyn Ohashi Clears The Air 77: Aly Raisman Texas Dreams' wore a leo that was clearly an ode to the 1990's Unified Team / Soviet splatter paint leotards.
