Jamie and the Magic Medal: Simone Biles and the Power of Putting Yourself First
Jamie stood in the locker room, staring down at her trembling hands. Her gymnastics competition was about to start, but something inside her felt… off. Her ankle was still sore from a bad landing in practice the day before. She had barely slept, replaying the moment over and over in her mind, convincing herself she could push through.
“You’ve trained so hard,” she whispered. “You can’t quit now.”
Her coach’s words echoed in her head: "Tough athletes push through pain."
But did they? Jamie’s fingers found the familiar shape of the magic medal in her pocket. She closed her eyes and clutched it tightly. A golden glow surrounded her.
When she opened her eyes, she wasn’t in the locker room anymore. She was in Tokyo, Japan—2021, at the Olympic Games.
