This week on Mental Gymnastics, Dr. JD Barton sits down with Ebee Price, one of the most accomplished gymnasts of her generation. A 2012 Olympic alternate, 2014 American Cup champion, and winner of the 2013 — 14 World Cup All-Around Series, Ebee went on to have even more success at Stanford, where she became a 2x NCAA champion, Pac-12 Gymnast of the Year, AAI Award winner, and one of the most decorated gymnasts in program history.
In this conversation, Ebee reflects on the unique challenge of being an Olympic alternate, the pressures of balancing athletic and academic success at Stanford, and the expectations that come with being a high achiever in every area of life.
