  • A day in my life!! From the time I wake up until I go to bed, this is part one of a two-part series documenting my life and what it looks like to train for the Olympics.
    I am a former NCAA athlete and have deferred my senior year to come back to elite gymnastics and try for a spot on the 2020 Olympic Team. This channel will document my journey and give you all insight into the life of someone preparing for the Olympics! Please leave a comment below and tell me what you want to see most. I only make videos that have been requested first!
    I intend to post new videos every week, so hit subscribe and click the bell to get notified every time there’s something new :)

    I love the fact that she does not go to gym until later in the day. You hear all the time about athletes going in at 6am everyday and I am just like dang give me an 11 o'clock practice any day. I love my sleep lol

    • @mingming9604
      @mingming9604 4 роки тому +28

      that's a perk of no longer being done with high school and no longer being home schooled and being able to defer the senior year of college. You can concentrate on training and at the same time not having to be up at 7 am and go beyond 7pm. Also the older gymnasts trains less hours but they train smarter.
      And just like Aly, her and Simone are getting more naps nowaday then when they were in their teens!...

    I honestly love how real this video is. No antics or overexaggeration, it’s 100% genuine, and I feel like it makes it feel 1) more like a documentary and 2) easier to connect.
    This is awesome, keep it up, Mykayla! Hope to see you in Tokyo this summer!
    Also the FORM on the Amanar!

    I am so surprised how late you get up - I always thought gymnasts would be at training around 7 AM😃 It‘s so nice to get an idea about a normal day for you! Also what does Jonas do? Does he just hang out with you, does he work, does he study...?

    • @mingming9604
      @mingming9604 4 роки тому +37

      The advantage of no longer being in high school and not also taking college class right now :) .. The precollege gymnasts have to deal with also doing high school work and home schooling in between morning and afternoon practice. Also they have to do homework after practice in afternoon, etc.
      Btw, prop to Myk for maintaining great GPA in college while keeping up with her practice!

    • @MyKaylaSkinnerOfficial
      @MyKaylaSkinnerOfficial  4 роки тому +88

      Yep I need my sleep haha. It works out cause practice starts later anyways. Jonas travels for work once or twice a month and works from home the rest so it's pretty flexible.

      The benefits of being an independent adult gymnast. You can get up whenever you want really. You don't have to wake up at the buttcrack of dawn, unless you want to, of course.

I'm subbing just for that! Good luck on your channel. You''ll get there.

      Great question! I've often wondered how that works too? Do you get help paying for your coaching and living accommodations? How does your country support it's athletes? I Know how you aren't allowed to make any money from sponsorship, if you want to compete in college. So, if you don't mind... How do you guys do it?

      What does it mean not having a gym behind? Sorry but I’m not American. What’s the difference between her and, for example Morgan Hurd? I mean I have always thought that gymnast don’t have to pay anything and the usag pay for everything , si for “gym” you mean something like WOGA? If I get it now she is “alone” so she isn’t part of a team ... sorry but it’s really hard ahaha

    Not gonna lie, after her husband went to McDonald’s & then said “That’s another reason we need this UA-cam thing to blow up, MyKayla is spending all my money” as he’s eating McDonald’s ... wow I felt that. I totally get it & then I subscribed lol - May more McDonald’s runs be in your guy’s future 🙏🏾

      She'll be an alternate, but I heard that the Tokyo 2020 Olympics were cancelled due to the Corona Virus circulating in that area!
