Oklahoma gymnast Jordan Bowers recently revealed the advice she would give to her younger self in an interview. Bowers is one of the most decorated gymnasts to ever represent the Oklahoma Sooners, and recently became the 2025 All-Around Champion. She was also named SEC Gymnast of the Year two years in a row.

In an interview on Flipping Out with Bridget Sloan, Bowers was asked what advice she would give to her younger self, to which she said:

"I would say to just not take it as seriously, because my whole life was gymnastics, I mean obviously like still kind of is now, but everything I did was pertained around gymnastics and I was always so like uptight about it. At the end of the day it's just gymnastics you know. I also used to think that gymnastics was my identity too, so I just lived through gymnastics and that's all I did. And it's definitely not the case you know, gymnastics is not your identity, and you are definitely more of a person than you are as a gymnast, so just taking things with a grain of salt and at the end of the day, it's just gymnastics," she said [35:00 onwards]

Jordan Bowers finished her NCAA career as a 16-time All-American, going down in Oklahoma history as one of the best gymnasts to ever represent them.
