Shawn Johnson East joins Bobby to look back on her life as an Olympic gymnast and the pressure that came with competing at the highest level from such a young age. She shares what it was like doing Dancing with the Stars at 17, why Olympic trials felt even harder than the actual Olympics, and how the constant need to win affected her mentally. Shawn also opens up about why she retired young, learning to separate her identity from gymnastics, and what life has looked like after stepping away from the sport that defined so much of her childhood.
