This week, we are joined by our correspondent JD, who was on the floor in Fort Worth for the 2026 NCAA Championships. We talk about the highs and lows of the competition — from Minnesota upsetting UCLA to advance to their first final ever, to Kailin Chio being a 10 machine, to our thoughts on the outcome of the meet, and more — plus we share some of our hopes and predictions for offseason transfers.

In the latest episode of Mental Gymnastics, Dr. JD Barton is joined by Jacey Vore, a two-time Big Ten Champion at the University of Michigan. Before her collegiate career, Jacey was one of the nation’s top Level 10 gymnasts, earning the 2019 Level 10 National All-Around title, qualifying for the Nastia Cup three times, and finishing as a two-time runner-up in the event. At Michigan, Jacey became a consistent presence in the Wolverines’ bar and beam lineups. Behind the scenes, however, she faced a significant challenge: an unexpected and intense mental block on vault that sidelined her from the event throughout her entire college career — until an emotional return on senior night, when she performed an exhibition routine. In this episode, Jacey opens up about the emotional toll of that experience — from frustration to the fear of letting others down — and shares how she worked through those challenges, ultimately finding strength, resilience, and a new perspective during her time in college.

This week we’re excited to bring you this interview with the talented Maggie Slife, who is currently dominating her junior season at Air Force! A two-time Mountain West Gymnast of the Year, she has also earned Specialist of the Year honors across the all-around and every event. Maggie holds multiple program and conference records, including a 9.975 on bars and beam and a 39.675 in the all-around, and ranks among the top eight gymnasts in the nation on bars and in the all-around. Since this interview was recorded ahead of conference championships, she has continued to build on an already historic season — helping lead Air Force to its first NCAA Regionals appearance in 24 years. Beyond her achievements in the gym, Maggie is known for her discipline, drive, and ability to balance excellence across all areas of her life, making her not only an elite athlete but an inspiring individual as well.

This week we’re joined by Ava Jordan, a junior at the University of Michigan. In her freshman year, she competed on vault in all but one meet, notching a season-best 9.85 in her very first collegiate appearance. She took things up a notch during her sophomore season, consistently competing in both the vault and bars lineups and earning her first career 9.9 score on bars at the Big Ten Championships. Now in her junior season, she’s making an even bigger contribution to the Wolverines by adding beam to the mix and scoring career highs on all three events: a 9.9 on vault, 9.925 on bars, and 9.95 on beam. Ava joins us to talk about what led her to Michigan, finding consistency on the competition floor, her future goals, and more. Plus, stick around after the interview for our thoughts on Iowa State cutting its gymnastics program and some other highlights as we head into postseason.

This week's guests are sisters Morgan Price and Frankie Price. Morgan Price spent the first three seasons of her college career at Fisk University, competing for the first HBCU gymnastics team. She won six WCGNIC national titles and became the first HBCU gymnast to score a 10.0, earning the mark on uneven bars during her junior season. Now a senior at the University of Arkansas, she recently made history again as the first Razorback gymnast to score a 10.0 on vault. She is closing out her career alongside her sister, Frankie, a mainstay in Arkansas’ vault and floor lineups. Frankie owns career highs of 9.9 on vault and 9.975 on floor — the latter matching the program record. As a redshirt freshman in 2023, she shared the NCAA regional floor title. The sisters join the show to discuss Morgan’s historic 10.0, Frankie’s return from an Achilles injury last season and their goals for the remainder of their gymnastics careers.

We’re so excited to kick off a new monthly series, Mental Gymnastics, with Dr. JD Barton (who you may also recognize as our West Coast correspondent)! This series creates space for retired gymnasts to share their stories, memories, struggles, and triumphs from their time in the sport. Our first guest needs no introduction. She’s a 2020 Olympian, 2025 NCAA and Big Ten floor champion, and queen of artistry — Brooklyn Moors. Brooklyn joins us to talk about working through a mental block that persisted throughout her career, having her Olympic dream delayed by the pandemic, and how she learned to see herself as more than just a gymnast.

This week, we’re excited to be joined by Theresa Kulikowski-Gillespie, a 1995 Team World bronze medalist and Olympic alternate for the gold-medal-winning 1996 U.S. women’s gymnastics team. Theresa competed collegiately at the University of Utah, where she was a 14-time All-American and won three individual NCAA titles — including the all-around and balance beam as a freshman in 1999. Following her gymnastics career, Theresa served as a physician assistant in the U.S. Army from 2009 to 2012, including a deployment to Iraq from 2010 to 2011. Today, she runs My Mindful Medicine, where she helps people heal and become the best version of themselves through guided meditation, support groups, and one-on-one mindfulness sessions. In 2024, Theresa published Beyond the Chalk Box, a book that explores the challenges and triumphs of former elite gymnasts through their own stories and reflections. We loved reading it and are excited to have Theresa on the show to dive deeper into the book.

Our guest this week is truly taking the world by storm. You may have seen her soaring 400 feet above New York City in a partnership with Red Bull and Rimmel London — or maybe you caught her on the SEC Network this past weekend, helping her team secure their first win over LSU in a decade. We’re thrilled to be joined by Georgia GymDogs junior Lily Smith. With just two competitions under her belt this season, Lily is already racking up individual titles — winning five event titles across six routines — while helping lead Georgia to season-opening victories over Ohio State and LSU. She’s currently ranked No. 1 in the nation on floor, and after a whirlwind week, she’s here to give us the full low-down.

Welcome to our final Coaches’ Corner interview of the 2026 NCAA season. We’ve got another new face on the show, and we’re very excited about this one — Ashley Johnston, who is entering her fourth season as head coach of the Alabama Crimson Tide. Ashley was an incredible athlete in her own right before becoming a coach. She was a 10-time All-American during her career at Alabama and helped lead the Tide to two SEC titles and two NCAA championships. As a coach, she has continued that success, keeping the program nationally competitive and guiding Alabama to back-to-back NCAA Championship appearances in 2024 and 2025. The Tide kick off the 2026 season this Friday against Clemson at 7 p.m. ET, streaming on ACC Network Extra. Ashley joins us to preview what we can expect from her team, including an exciting freshman class and a group that’s hungry for more.

Happy New Year! As promised, we’re back with another Coaches Corner interview as we kick off the road to the 2026 NCAA season. We’re excited to welcome a new face to the show — Washington head coach Jessa Hansen Parker — as she joins us to preview what’s ahead for the Huskies. Jessa enters her second year at the helm of Washington, which also marks the program’s second season competing in the Big Ten. Last year gave Husky fans plenty to celebrate: the program recorded its second-highest attendance in history, four GymDawgs qualified to regionals as individuals, and Mary McDonough earned a spot at the NCAA Championships for the second straight season. With several new athletes gaining valuable lineup experience, Washington looks poised to build on that momentum as they aim to climb the rankings both nationally and within the Big Ten. Jessa joins us to break down expectations for the season and preview the Huskies’ opening meet this Saturday against Cal, UCLA, and Oregon State — streaming on BTN+ at 6 p.m. ET.

This week, our friend JD Barton heads to Stanford to catch the team’s final intrasquad before the holiday break and sit down with head coach Tabitha Yim to preview the 2026 season. Tabitha breaks down what fans can expect from an exciting class of newcomers — including Olympians Ana Bărbosu and Levi Jung Ruivivar — along with the team’s biggest strengths, the momentum from winning its first ACC Championship last season, and the experiences that have shaped her coaching journey. Plus, JD shares what stood out most to him from the intrasquad.

This week, we’re joined by one of the most legendary head coaches in college gymnastics: KJ Kindler, head coach of the seven-time NCAA champion Oklahoma Sooners. After missing the NCAA finals in 2024, Oklahoma rebounded in dominant fashion to win the national title in 2025. As the Sooners prepare for the 2026 season and their second year in the SEC, Kindler reflects on last season, how the team used doubt as motivation, and what lies ahead. She also discusses the impact of an exciting freshman class and athletes who stepped up their game in the offseason.
