Stephen Nedoroscik shares crucial advice for athletes amidst break from gymnastics
Stephen Nedoroscik enjoyed an incredible 2024 season in gymnastics as he clinched two bronze medals at the Paris Olympics. However, the American has been unable to replicate that success this season. After a brief hiatus from competition, the gymnast returned to action at the Xfinity Championships, where he placed fifth in the pommel horse and was unable to qualify for the World Championships.
Soon after this, the 26-year-old had to undergo a hip surgery due to a cam deformity which had led to a double labrum tear and cartilage damage. In the midst of his struggles, Nedoroscik shared an important message about stress with his fans, saying in a video shared on Instagram,
“Stress is kind of like a muscle that you have to exercise. You want to put yourself in environments that are stressful and overcome them over time. You will get better and better at it. Shift your mindset from being nervous to being excited. That's number one. Number two is controlling those controllables. Visualize, prepare, and just accept that you're about to do this thing that is really scary. Part of that preparation, of course, is training. But it's also about getting into the right mindset.”
As a gymnast, Stephen Nedoroscik first established himself as a dominant force on the pommel horse during his college career, winning the 2017 and 2018 NCAA national championships in the event. In 2021, he was crowned the pommel horse World Champion and he has since added two Olympic bronze medals to his list of accolades.
