Gymnastics Culture
Rachael discusses the pervasive culture of abuse in gymnastics, including body image issues and physical abuse. She shares her own fortunate experience in a healthy gym, but acknowledges that abuse was an open secret in many other gyms, such as John Geddert's Twistars. The gymnastics community was insular, and parents were often discouraged from watching practices, which allowed coaches to isolate and control their athletes.In this clip
