The Weight of Gold

Simone Biles and Naomi Osaka are mental health queens. :)

We can all learn from Simone Biles and Naomi Osaka’s recent decisions to speak up and out about mental and emotional health, historically a taboo topic, particularly regarding athletics. Yesterday, iconic gymnast superstar Simone Biles pulled out of the Tokyo Olympic Games. Tennis player Naomi Osaka withdrew from the French Open, never went to Wimbledon and, after her early exit in Tokyo, this past week conceded that the Olympics were a bit too much to handle mentally.
