Jade Carey previously revealed that competing in elite competitions has helped her deal with the pressure of performing in collegiate competitons. Carey, who represented the United States last year at the Olympics, had the added pressure of competing in the 2023-24 NCAA Gymnastics season for the Oregon State Beavers.

In a press conference ahead of the 2025 NCAA Championships in Fort Worth, Carey said (3:11 onwards):

"Yeah I think my experience in elite has really helped me with the pressure aspect of things, I've had to deal with a lot of high-pressure situations. So that really helped my gymnastics flourish this year, but again just having a team where like you said, I can be silly and goofy and fun and have a good time in and outside of the gym really makes it mentally a lot easier.

"We say it every time before we compete, like let's just have fun because we do our best when we're having fun. So just being able to really take that to heart this year and I think it showed throughout my gymnastics the whole year that I was having a really good time."

Jade Carey earned multiple honors during her collegiate career, including being named a finalist for the Honda Sports Award for Gymnastics this year.
