I think he is absolutely serious. At least in that he wants her to start mentally preparing and doing timers towards them. He knows she needs it to be truly competitive for the Olympic team.
One of the 17 reasons I want her to succeed is bc if she can make a significant comeback after 8 years of retirement and only training 3 days a week, it might show USAG that they don't have to work their gymnasts to the bone and retire them once the hit 23. That in combination with the fact that athletes returning from quarantine didn't lose that much ground could hopefully change some of the culture
Shawn Johnson notoriously only trained four hours a day and led a relatively normal life. The gym was always kept fun for her and she was one of the greats. Abuse and torture doesn't need to be normalized as "part of the process" or "what it takes" and yet for years we've allowed it to
Another example from the other direction, look what one some of the Chinese gymnast's go through. For everything they throw at their kids, it doesn't translate on the leaderboard. They're good, but it doesn't give them a noticable advantage, the Chinese get beat all the time
So this is what I like: after all the negative things that have happened with Nassar, USA Gymnastics, Karolyis, etc., here is a strong woman, a mom, an athlete. Although I’d love to see her compete and kick some younger butt, this is a woman of her own mind. She can do what she wants. She’s no longer a young girl who is vulnerable to predators who seek out this situation and take advantage of it. The sport of gymnastics is so beautiful but it’s been sullied by the events of the last few years. This journey is not that. Bravo to all of those inspired by Chellsie to return to the gym or to dust off their sports equipment and start again, whether elite, NCAA, or recreational athlete. Or even beginner! But I especially feel for the high level gymnast who put so many hours in the gym to give it up in the late teens and early twenties.
eranderson428 not implying anything re her dad. The elite sport overall as in Athlete A. Surely she spent some time on the Karolyi Ranch. Of course not all elite gymnasts has these negative experiences. I completely meant in every sense that she is probably experiencing the sport very differently as an adult.
Well said. I wish Mckayla Moroney could join in with her, just because I feel like she had a really bad last few years in the sport, and I’d love her to find joy in it ... and give Simone some vault competition.
@@eranderson428 Well - Chellsie was notorious for her "fruit, chicken, fruit" answer to what her diet was back in the day. It's amazing to see her address that in this series, and to see her come back to gymnastics on her own terms, healthy and strong.
She should wear the flame red white and blue one from 2003 worlds. I love how supportive everyone is. Great job! As scary as it is: you’ve got this! You are in incredible shape and you’ve got it! No doubts!
“Memmel Up”. That is now the phrase i”ll be using with my xcel crew. Lol then i will know who has done their homework. . What homework you aak? Before we started our zoom workouts during lockdown, i gave my team only 1 assignment-“chellsie Memmel. You need to follow her adult gymnastics journey. That is all.” 😃We will find out who listened when i tell one of them to “Memmel Up.” Hahaha. Xoxo💪❤️🏅👸🏻
You're dad is like the friendliest turtle I've ever seen. And I mean that with so much respect. Like if a turtle woke up one morning a human gymnastics coach it would be him. I would watch that Netflix cartoon.
Well, I‘m back for a dose of my fave reality show: Daddy coach‘s great advice for vault (do it again, but don‘t think about dying this time = applicable as general life advice), the clapping of the fan club on the bb, and more ribbing from Rahdea (trim those nails gurrl) and the sweet younger sister Memmel. Love it! Also, let‘s start using the phrase „Memmel it“.
No problem! ☺️ let me know whenever you want me to start your official fan club Chellsie haha 😉 also nice seeing the subs count increase each week! #CHELL’YA!
Just Chellsie things: casual DTY and lands it upright and on her feet!! So so proud of how she's progressing and just tackling these things, just straight up killing it. I'm going to miss Rahdea when she returns to school, she's hilarious. The girls on beam clapping gave me LIFE. I genuinely love these videos, thanks for being the highlight of my Sunday
I love watching a physically strong, and mentally mature women doing this wonderful sport so competitively. Maybe female gymnasts will stop believing that their career will be over so young!
This series gives us a glimpse at what a great role model you are for those kids! We know you are a spectacular athlete, but behind the scenes, a kind, modest person, that is very likable!
I have been dealing with a tough depression for many years, ever since I started following this journey of yours, there hasn’t been a single video where after watching you, I haven’t felt like I couldn’t beat this. You have been a lot more inspiring to us than you ever know. A DTY after all those years ? You are out of this world
The dynamic between Andy and Chellsie is hilarious! Plus Andy’s sense of humor just makes me laugh, but what is awesome about it is that his humor is actually serious in a lot of ways as to how he really thinks Chellsie is ready and can do all of the things he is telling her to do! I love watching these videos each week and I really hope she’s planning a comeback.
I don’t know why I’m shocked when Chellsie adds not just skills but new events weekly. I need to stop being so surprised but it’s damn exciting, entertaining and inspiring. Chellsie Memmel you are a very bright light in a very dark time.
@@ChellsieMemmel23 that’s what makes your journey so engaging and endearing. Your humility and your honesty about fears, doubts, insecurities is so refreshing, genuine and special. Keep surprising yourself and us!
Next week is Amanar week 🤩 Can’t wait! And on a separate note, Chellsie probably doesn’t feel like wearing leotards because she knows her muscles will put everyone off. Seriously, she’s crazy ripped. 💪
I swear this series inspired me to get back into figure skating. Different sport completely, I know but watching your drive and love for your sport really made me want to give my all too. I didn't have kids, but I lost my ability to walk unaided for nearly two years and was on forearm crutches for those years in and out of multiple surgeries. I finally got independent mobility back over the last year or so. And watching these videos made me think, "Why not see how far I can go?"
Is it weird that I was more focused on how that sweet "vault interloper" girl did on her cartwheel than on Chellsie? I loved Andy's advice to her too. What did he say? Pretend you're kicking your mom?😜
Meredith Beatty yes she was adorable. Andy gives the type of encouragement that both pushes the gymnast and doesn’t intimidate them. She was a really sweet little girl.
Literally in tears . im soooooo proud of you . its 🔥you were always amazing but like wine . you are like even more amazing now. Like you do realize even tho you have announced a comeback .that this is what you did in 2010/11 with no announcement. You just look so happy now . my favorite videos to see every week
Super addicted to this journey. It’s so cool watching her body and mind remember just how elite she IS with each step up in skill. True champion spirit!
Chellsie my queen is back this week, it’s 23:05 where I am and no sleep is worth more than watching her throw new skills without trying and of course, the iconic Andy.
I love everything about these videos. The pure joy and FUN that Chellsie has while doing gymnastics is inspiring. I wish everyone got to experience the sport this way!
Oh my gosh I love the support in the gym! And hey you are complaining less and just putting up with trying the crazy skills... I love how much fun you seem to have
Chellsie Memmel I am in my 50’s now but I was dancer when I was younger. Thing my teach tried to get across to then I did not understand but as I got older they made more sense. So they may not right but as they get older they will
Balance Beam yes!! I totally agree. It would be awesome seeing her compete with that music! So energetic and fun and plus it would give her a sense of comfort since she has used it before🤗
I'm so freakin' impressed, such guts! I found myself doing cartwheels between cubicles at my work the other day because watching these has made me realize how much I like gymnastics and want to be able to do more, thank you for the motivation!💛
The funny thing is, her DTY is GOOD. Especially for throwing only 2 in MORE than a decade. Is it the best? No. But it's not sloppy, she doesn't land low and she gets more height and distance than a lot of the World Class gymnasts out there. This journey is impressing me so much.
I love seeing her doing more stuff!! Just shows how good shape she's in and how hard she's worked to be in the condition she's at. Love that for her !!
You’re actually unreal. I remember you being like “I’m just chillin I’ll see how I feel and I will NEVER swing bars“ and here you are ready for Olympic all around...
,Your work is inspiring on so many levels for me, I'm trying to make a come black on my old job, the one I love and feared for many years. I will try to have your attitude and spirit about what you are afraid to do with me. As always much love and hugs from italy.
Chell yeah! I love how you’re pushing yourself to do the skills you’re afraid of! I used to be a gymnast too so I know the feeling! Can’t wait for the next video as usual. This channel is my new favorite on UA-cam and I’m so excited to keep following your journey wherever it may lead! I love that you’re doing it for FUN!!
Loving seeing your progress...I'm so invested on where you will decide to take this and if you'll decide to compete again. I wait all week for these videos!
Chellsie I told my mom who was a coach actually worked for Suni's coach about what you were doing and she was like no way can she make a comeback then she watched your videos and was like whoa she actually could make a comeback:) And now me and my mom watch every week we especially love your relationship with your dad it is so awesome and he is hilarious!!! And it is flat out awesome to see you do these huge skills!
ok....so I live in a town with no big gym anywhere nearby so gymnastics was never really "an option" a few years ago I tried to self teach myself but soon realized that was a very unrealistic goal, having no equipment or background information. so I stopped trying...watching these videos have made me realize that nothing is impossible and today I started to ease myself into a few cartwheels and very bad walkovers...so thank you Chellsie for the motivation, and to you keep going!!! I love watching you!!!
Its so cool to see isnt it? Its like she has gained a better perspective mebtally and physically with age and life experience and she kind of understands things from an different POV now because of the maturity and self possession she has. Its such a different dynamic than most elite gymnasts and it is so interesting to see. She has a deeper understanding of her body and her mind and what she is capable of because she has lived in her body longer. I am really enjoying this series! Go Chell!
Chellsie, you are an inspiration to moms - that we can be healthy and athletic after having kids. I am finally getting back into my running (my passion) after some pelvic floor issues. Physical therapy and healthy eating help so much. I would love to hear you talk about what your favorite healthy foods are that support your training. I’ve noticed candy makes things go downhill really quick! A treat in moderation on special occasions is ok, but I can’t eat that stuff everyday.
Yes we can! That is so awesome, glad you are getting back to running. I have a much better relationship with food now but am a pretty plain eater in general. Oatmeal/eggs for breakfast usually. My favorite snack lately has been greek yogurt with cinnamon, chia seeds, granola and pecans. I agree with the sugar, I had more than I usually do last week and I could feel a difference.
Thank you for the videos! I look forward to seeing them every week! Chelsie you are AMAZING! Your dad is Epic! And your motivators/challengers are The Best! A shout out from Portugal!!! WE LOVE YOU! (:)
ahh I just love this series so much! Weirdly the best part for me is seeing Chellsie being scared of things and then getting over it and doing it anyway. So inspiring for me to face all the fears in my own life!
The thing about the phrase, "it's like riding a bike" is that you still remember how to do it but if it has been a decade or two since you've ridden you are inevitably going to wobble a bit when you first climb back on but Chellsie nails a difficult and scary vault like she's been warming it up for a decade rather than the opposite.
So I've never worked out one day in my life, and tomorrow I have my very first capoeira class. Chelsea is my inspiration, and I may be the first Puerto Rican in history to ever Memmel up.
this series went from fun back tucks on the laser beam to double fulls and pak saltos REAL QUICK
RIGHTT
😂
RIGHT?! 🤔
She is coming for it quickly!!
SHES A BEAST
"We start Amanars next week"
Thing is I cant actually tell if he's serious...
I think he is absolutely serious. At least in that he wants her to start mentally preparing and doing timers towards them. He knows she needs it to be truly competitive for the Olympic team.
I feel like he is always serious when it comes to gym.
Yeah, it's just insane to me to go from vaulting for the first time in 8 years to doing amanars in 3 weeks?!
O.O
He jokes a lot but not usually about skills.
@@ChellsieMemmel23 so here for you to do an amanar. Please!
I cannot get over the fact that she just threw a DTY for the first time in 12 years after being back on vault for like ... a week. H O W ? ?
I KNOW I’m so impressed! Well done Chellsie, you’re amazing!
Regular conditioning over the years plus the intensive conditioning she's been doing the past 15 weeks. And then muscle memory.
Muscle memory! And sheer talent, guts and determination
I'm not sure. lol
*chellsie does a double* “EXCUSE ME MR DAGGET”
That will never get old.
🤣🤣
Y E S ICONIC
Ha that’s one of my favorite chellsie moments
Dagget will never live that his mistake down..🤣
If Andy ever felt comfortable, it would be interesting to hear him discuss what the Marta years were like from a coach’s point of view
I would really like to hear his perspective. Both as a coach and as Chellsie's parent.
Memmel family probably has lots of tea to spill
YES! Spill the tea Andy!
Yes! 🍵 🐸 I'm here for the tea.
The fact an amanar doesn’t even seem unrealistic at this point is like- wow
The fact that she can just add more and more skills one after the other amazes me. After the amanar, we have to try a triple.
She's got a year, she can learn a second vault and go for finals on all 4 events
chell wow
She might as well go for a Cheng at this point. There is no doubt in my mind that she would do that well too.
Maybe she could try a second vault?
One of the 17 reasons I want her to succeed is bc if she can make a significant comeback after 8 years of retirement and only training 3 days a week, it might show USAG that they don't have to work their gymnasts to the bone and retire them once the hit 23. That in combination with the fact that athletes returning from quarantine didn't lose that much ground could hopefully change some of the culture
Yes! They don’t need to train 36 hours a week especially if they’re so young
Shawn Johnson notoriously only trained four hours a day and led a relatively normal life. The gym was always kept fun for her and she was one of the greats. Abuse and torture doesn't need to be normalized as "part of the process" or "what it takes" and yet for years we've allowed it to

@@madeline2282 Apparently there were times when Amy Chow was not training crazy hours and still was relentlessly talented.
I hope it could help change the beliefs that you do not need excessive time and numbers!
Can we nominate chellsie's journey for any best UA-cam series award out there?
I mean, I look forward to each episode and it never fails to captivate.
I need this on Netflix. When/if she comes back and competes then it definitely should
@@nathanielhalls1893 you're so right! I'd watch it all in one day!
So this is what I like: after all the negative things that have happened with Nassar, USA Gymnastics, Karolyis, etc., here is a strong woman, a mom, an athlete.

Of course not all elite gymnasts has these negative experiences. I completely meant in every sense that she is probably experiencing the sport very differently as an adult.

This makes my heart happy!🥰🥰🥰
I'm just here for Andy, Rahdea, and Skyler trolling Chellsie.
JK, Chellsie you are amazing, I love seeing what you can do every week!
hahahaha! Thanks!
when chellsie only did a 1.5 at trials and now busts out a double... i am amazed!!!
She did a DTY in 2005 worlds
"Pretend your mom--do you like your mom? Pretend she's standing right there"
i love andy lmao
Madeline 😂 Yes Andy’s the most iconic one of all.
I love how supportive the little girls are. Such a positive environment.
It was so adorable!
Can we please make Important Andy Memmel Content a weekly segment?
YES TO THIS. 😂👍🏼🔥
PLEASE
This series is single-handedly rehabilitating women's gymnastics' image right now!
She should wear the flame red white and blue one from 2003 worlds.
I love how supportive everyone is. Great job!
As scary as it is: you’ve got this! You are in incredible shape and you’ve got it! No doubts!
100% flame one from 2003 worlds. Someone tell Rahdea!
I still have my tank version of that leo!
@@kejonza She wore it! Her dad posted a photo on her in it on Instagram!
Are people watching who don't have any connection to gymnastics, but are totally invested in Chellsies comeback now?
I have always been a fan of gymnastics but I am lousy at it myself. Gymnasts amaze me. What they can do.
I’m low-key just here for the Andy commentary. That fish part got me. 😂
Same though. Andy’s just quality entertainment.
me when chellsie lands the double after not thinking she would: EXCUSE ME MS. MEMMEL
hahaha
Excuse me mr daggett??
“Memmel Up”. That is now the phrase i”ll be using with my xcel crew. Lol then i will know who has done their homework. . What homework you aak? Before we started our zoom workouts during lockdown, i gave my team only 1 assignment-“chellsie Memmel. You need to follow her adult gymnastics journey. That is all.” 😃We will find out who listened when i tell one of them to “Memmel Up.” Hahaha. Xoxo💪❤️🏅👸🏻
Bahah. “I do! I can do it.” As she half heartedly fist pumps in not quite agreement?? Lol.
I hope you gave them workouts as well. Otherwise they’ll be very tired when they come back to the gym.
Her block is back and her technique is so good that she can still do anything. Chell yeah!!!
Thank you!
You're dad is like the friendliest turtle I've ever seen. And I mean that with so much respect. Like if a turtle woke up one morning a human gymnastics coach it would be him. I would watch that Netflix cartoon.
Well, I‘m back for a dose of my fave reality show: Daddy coach‘s great advice for vault (do it again, but don‘t think about dying this time = applicable as general life advice), the clapping of the fan club on the bb, and more ribbing from Rahdea (trim those nails gurrl) and the sweet younger sister Memmel. Love it! Also, let‘s start using the phrase „Memmel it“.
“You’re ready. Memmel up” girl he’s RIGHT you got this! I really hope you can make it back into elite!!!
Thanks
Chellsie Memmel 😱😱 you are so very welcome!!
Seeing all the little girls there clapping and supporting you while doing on vault is so beautiful 🧡 As usual another awesome video
Thank you so much!!
No problem! ☺️ let me know whenever you want me to start your official fan club Chellsie haha 😉 also nice seeing the subs count increase each week! #CHELL’YA!
I can predict that Andy would be like “ ok we got the double down now, so let’s add a second vault for vault finals” 😂
Honestly.. Chellsie could learn a second vault easily I think and she could contend for every final at worlds 2021
Just Chellsie things: casual DTY and lands it upright and on her feet!! So so proud of how she's progressing and just tackling these things, just straight up killing it. I'm going to miss Rahdea when she returns to school, she's hilarious. The girls on beam clapping gave me LIFE. I genuinely love these videos, thanks for being the highlight of my Sunday
Thank you and I am going to miss her too!!
I love watching a physically strong, and mentally mature women doing this wonderful sport so competitively. Maybe female gymnasts will stop believing that their career will be over so young!
I hope I can help change the mindset around that!
OMG PLEASE put “Memmel up” on your merch!!!
Would buy
Noted!
@@ChellsieMemmel23 can you send one when you do? Cause I will gladly wear it!!!!! 😊
This series gives us a glimpse at what a great role model you are for those kids! We know you are a spectacular athlete, but behind the scenes, a kind, modest person, that is very likable!

I can't imagine how tough that is but I am so glad you feel like you can beat it! Keep it up!
Can we get chellsie to react to THAT Tim Dagget underestimating chellsie's vault and her sticking a one and a half?
That would be awesome! Here's the UA-cam clip of it! 😎🤣
ua-cam.com/video/F5bLG84d-Uk/v-deo.html
Watching these is the best part of my week now no joke
Most wholesome surprises 2020 has to offer
“You’re ready...Memmel up!” 🥰😂🤣 Andy is the best dad and coach ever! ❤️
he is!
Chellsie Memmel is single-handedly making 2020 come back around to its former glory. Absolutely incredible and Iove watching your weekly updates!
Thank you
The dynamic between Andy and Chellsie is hilarious! Plus Andy’s sense of humor just makes me laugh, but what is awesome about it is that his humor is actually serious in a lot of ways as to how he really thinks Chellsie is ready and can do all of the things he is telling her to do!
I love watching these videos each week and I really hope she’s planning a comeback.
He is great!
At this rate, you need to release two videos per week. Just saying. 🤣
Yessss
Get this to the top people. Chellsie listen to this person!
One thousand percent agree!!!!
I don’t know why I’m shocked when Chellsie adds not just skills but new events weekly. I need to stop being so surprised but it’s damn exciting, entertaining and inspiring. Chellsie Memmel you are a very bright light in a very dark time.

Meredith Beatty yes she was adorable. Andy gives the type of encouragement that both pushes the gymnast and doesn’t intimidate them. She was a really sweet little girl.
Nah, the opposite. He said "do you like your mom?" She said yes, then he said to pretend like she was standing there and don't kick her.
Loved how the next one she did was way better
Yes! Look forward to this all weekend!
Yay! Thank you!
Literally in tears . im soooooo proud of you . its 🔥you were always amazing but like wine . you are like even more amazing now. Like you do realize even tho you have announced a comeback .that this is what you did in 2010/11 with no announcement. You just look so happy now . my favorite videos to see every week
Thank you! I am very happy!
Super addicted to this journey. It’s so cool watching her body and mind remember just how elite she IS with each step up in skill. True champion spirit!
Thank you
Chellsie: I’m doing a layout.
Next day: maybe a full?
2 hours later: triple twist here I come!
This is literally her though lol 😂😂😂
Chellsie my queen is back this week, it’s 23:05 where I am and no sleep is worth more than watching her throw new skills without trying and of course, the iconic Andy.
It's almost 2am where I'm at but I couldn't go to sleep before watching this week's video!
Andrea Velasquez well, sacrifices have to be made if you want pleasure in life. 😴
I love everything about these videos. The pure joy and FUN that Chellsie has while doing gymnastics is inspiring. I wish everyone got to experience the sport this way!
Thank you and I really wish that too, I truly hope one day it will be like that.
Oh man I love these chats with Rahdea, they have me cracking up so much😂
This is seriously better than anything on TV. There's drama, suspense, comic relief, and unbelievable athleticism.
Love it! My new mantra for the week... "Memmel Up!"
Oh my gosh I love the support in the gym! And hey you are complaining less and just putting up with trying the crazy skills... I love how much fun you seem to have
It's an awesome environment!
You are so much of a roll model to the kids watching you. You are showing them they can do anything
Thank you and I hope they believe that!
Chellsie Memmel I am in my 50’s now but I was dancer when I was younger. Thing my teach tried to get across to then I did not understand but as I got older they made more sense. So they may not right but as they get older they will
The only thing that would make this comeback even better would be using your old floor routine music again 🙃
CHELL’YA!
Which floor music is your favorite ?
Leo V her iconic 2005-08 one
Balance Beam yes!! I totally agree. It would be awesome seeing her compete with that music! So energetic and fun and plus it would give her a sense of comfort since she has used it before🤗
YESSSS!!
As iconic as that FX music is, I'm ready for something new!
I'm so freakin' impressed, such guts!
I found myself doing cartwheels between cubicles at my work the other day because watching these has made me realize how much I like gymnastics and want to be able to do more, thank you for the motivation!💛
gillianemb you’re so lucky if you can do cartwheels. I can’t even do those.
Thank you and I hope you are able to do more! It is tons of fun!
i’m now looking forward to sunday nights (my least favorite part of the week!) just because of this series 😌
I’ve been following since week one and every week I become more and more amazed with how far you’ve come in your gymnastics journey! 🖤
Thank you so much!!
I laughed so hard at “vault interloper” hahaha these videos give me LIFE!!
And to think that afew weeks ago she wouldn't even look at the grips, and would barely touch the vault table...
Crazy how quickly things can change
@@ChellsieMemmel23 when you love something.. 😄
It's 11pm Sunday night. I'm in the bath. It's Chellsie time!
But seriously, her journey is my inspiration.
Lol. I watched this in the bath too 😂
You are amazing I am beyond impressed!! Plus your dad is EPIC!
Thank you and I agree, he is!
I loved the standing ovation from the junior gymnast it must be so inspiring watching Chelsea up close!
She is inspiring over UA-cam too!
The funny thing is, her DTY is GOOD. Especially for throwing only 2 in MORE than a decade. Is it the best? No. But it's not sloppy, she doesn't land low and she gets more height and distance than a lot of the World Class gymnasts out there. This journey is impressing me so much.
@D Leo Ew, who the hell are you. Not your dude.
5:31 I love how you picked a specific number to describe the butterflies in your stomach okay I'll keep watching the video now
I really like how you control how much you want to do and when you feel ready to do it. I think this is something younger gymnasts can learn from!
I love seeing her doing more stuff!! Just shows how good shape she's in and how hard she's worked to be in the condition she's at. Love that for her !!
Thank you!
Best quote "The Chellsie comeback is one instigator at a time" :) i love that hehhe she accepts every challenge so proud of you Chellsie!
I am LIVING for these updates right now. You're a star, Chellsie!
Thank you!
AMAZING. I’m so inspired by you every time you crush something you were scared of. Just incredible!!!
Thank you
You’re actually unreal. I remember you being like “I’m just chillin I’ll see how I feel and I will NEVER swing bars“ and here you are ready for Olympic all around...
haha not quite but thanks!
,Your work is inspiring on so many levels for me, I'm trying to make a come black on my old job, the one I love and feared for many years. I will try to have your attitude and spirit about what you are afraid to do with me. As always much love and hugs from italy.
Thank you and I hope it goes well for you!!
Chellsie, you are an AMAZON and I am here for it! So much fun to watch you in these.
Chell yeah! I love how you’re pushing yourself to do the skills you’re afraid of! I used to be a gymnast too so I know the feeling! Can’t wait for the next video as usual. This channel is my new favorite on UA-cam and I’m so excited to keep following your journey wherever it may lead! I love that you’re doing it for FUN!!
Thank you so much!!
So I'm 20 secs in and you say: "today at least fulls!". I already know you're gonna land DTY's in the pit :)))
TIM DAGGETT IS SHAKING
I’ve always admired the jam to handstand skill you did for UB. Very tricky.
Loving seeing your progress...I'm so invested on where you will decide to take this and if you'll decide to compete again.
I wait all week for these videos!
Thank you!
Chellsie I told my mom who was a coach actually worked for Suni's coach about what you were doing and she was like no way can she make a comeback then she watched your videos and was like whoa she actually could make a comeback:)
And now me and my mom watch every week we especially love your relationship with your dad it is so awesome and he is hilarious!!! And it is flat out awesome to see you do these huge skills!
haha that's awesome
ok....so I live in a town with no big gym anywhere nearby so gymnastics was never really "an option" a few years ago I tried to self teach myself but soon realized that was a very unrealistic goal, having no equipment or background information. so I stopped trying...watching these videos have made me realize that nothing is impossible and today I started to ease myself into a few cartwheels and very bad walkovers...so thank you Chellsie for the motivation, and to you keep going!!! I love watching you!!!
Bummer but you are right that nothing is impossible! I hope you keep going!
I would like to remind the community that I had posted my belief of her ability to dty and amanar in the comments section of her first vaulting video.
haha! you believed it before I did
How did she just get back into the sport and is already better than at her peak on vault? When do I get to that point of life?
Brody Penn I don’t know. World Champion things I guess.
lmk when you figure that one out...I am going to need that advice lol
I have no idea, but i believe you can get there!
Its so cool to see isnt it? Its like she has gained a better perspective mebtally and physically with age and life experience and she kind of understands things from an different POV now because of the maturity and self possession she has. Its such a different dynamic than most elite gymnasts and it is so interesting to see. She has a deeper understanding of her body and her mind and what she is capable of because she has lived in her body longer. I am really enjoying this series! Go Chell!
Chellsie, you are an inspiration to moms - that we can be healthy and athletic after having kids. I am finally getting back into my running (my passion) after some pelvic floor issues. Physical therapy and healthy eating help so much. I would love to hear you talk about what your favorite healthy foods are that support your training. I’ve noticed candy makes things go downhill really quick! A treat in moderation on special occasions is ok, but I can’t eat that stuff everyday.
Yes we can! That is so awesome, glad you are getting back to running. I have a much better relationship with food now but am a pretty plain eater in general. Oatmeal/eggs for breakfast usually. My favorite snack lately has been greek yogurt with cinnamon, chia seeds, granola and pecans. I agree with the sugar, I had more than I usually do last week and I could feel a difference.
Thank you for the videos! I look forward to seeing them every week!
Chelsie you are AMAZING! Your dad is Epic! And your motivators/challengers are The Best!
A shout out from Portugal!!!
WE LOVE YOU!
(:)
Thanks so much!!
Keep rocking it Chellsie! I love seeing your progress every week. You are giving all of the
ex-gymnasts over here hope. Love from Austin, TX!
Week 16: Chellsie has an Amanar
Week 17: Chellsie has a Cheng
hahaha
ahh I just love this series so much! Weirdly the best part for me is seeing Chellsie being scared of things and then getting over it and doing it anyway. So inspiring for me to face all the fears in my own life!
“Memmel-up!” My new self confidence one-liner...😇
I’m going to start using ‘Memmel up’ in my everyday vocabulary 💪🏻💪🏻
Yes!
Wait, doubles already? This is such a fun journey to watch :)
thank you
She only needs another half turn for that amanar!!! I’m amazed wow
YOU GOT THIS!!!!!!!!! Love watching you challenge yourself and SMILE at the end of every successful attempt! You got this!!!
Thank you!
You're fearless! Even if you do have butterflies 🦋
listen, can you make a merch store? I'm not kidding- I would totally buy a "Memmel Up" t-shirt or a "Chell yeah!" hoodie.
working on it!
SO EXCITED TO WATCH THIS
The thing about the phrase, "it's like riding a bike" is that you still remember how to do it but if it has been a decade or two since you've ridden you are inevitably going to wobble a bit when you first climb back on but Chellsie nails a difficult and scary vault like she's been warming it up for a decade rather than the opposite.
Almost 10K subs!!! Yay!!
I love watching your progress Chellsie! I can believe you just did a DTY!! you’re such a bada$$!!
Thank you so much!!
Yesterday during my workout I kept telling myself "Memmel Up" whenever I wanted a breather/break. Love it!!!
I really enjoy your videos. Greetings from Argentina!
Thank you very much!
So I've never worked out one day in my life, and tomorrow I have my very first capoeira class. Chelsea is my inspiration, and I may be the first Puerto Rican in history to ever Memmel up.
That is so awesome, I hope your class went well!!
