Description
GymnasticsVille Podcast features in-depth, unfiltered conversations with the athletes, coaches, and leaders shaping competitive gymnastics.
From Olympic comebacks to coaching philosophy, mental training to life after elite competition — if it matters to the gymnastics community, we talk about it.
Hosted by Mubarak Simmons, co-founder of GymCrew Talent Management, alongside co-hosts Taqiy Simmons and Kerry Adderly.
This isn't highlight reels or quick takes. These are real, long-form conversations about the sport we love — the struggles, the triumphs, the lessons learned, and the stories that don't make it to the competition floor.
New episodes monthly.
Produced by GymCrew Talent Management.

I'm just going to add to that.. Brandon was hitting his sets the week before in practice. It was not coaching error like you implied. Boy could hardly breathe before he even started the routine. He had a choice to throw his hard routine or easy routine. He chose his hard routine because he knew the judges would need to see that. They knew he could throw his easy routine, so there was no point to get up and do that. Yes, he's missed dismounts from time to time. Not regularly. He's never missed three times. That's called a sick body that didn't have a capacity to do what it normally does. I would commend his coaches for not scratching him, and just giving him a chance, and hoping for the best.
Heard the podcast on P&G just now. Just want to let you know that Brandon Ngai was sick that weekend so that's why he wasn't able to complete his dismount on his pommel horse routine.
