Simone Biles' Career Set To Explode After Gymnastic Pulls Out Of Another Olympic Event To Focus On Her Mental Health
Simone Biles' career might be on the fast track after she made the difficult decision to put her mental health ahead of the Olympic gold.
RadarOnline.com spoke to a top executive at Madison Avenue who tells us that the decorated gymnastic's choice to step away from completing on the USA Olympics team might turn out to make her even more popular after the games.
“Simone is a bigger star today from walking away from the team event than she would have been if she had won another gold medal. Winning another gold would not have made a huge difference to her life after the games. She is already the most respected athlete in the world, however, now she is also the respected as a human being too,” one of the company's executives tell us.
“Simone has opened up a whole new chapter of her life post Olympics talking about mental health.”
After speaking openly about her mental health struggles, Biles is appealing to a wider audience than just gymnastics fans.
“Suddenly the greatest Olympian of all-time is vulnerable,” adds a top PR specialist. “She is connecting with people on a whole different level. Very few people in the world can relate to flying in the air, but everyone can relate to struggles with mental health.”
