Jordan Chiles shared how competing in NCAA gymnastic events has helped her on the elite circuit. The Oregon native started competing for UCLA back in 2022.

In an interview, Chiles revealed that her NCAA career has helped her mature and grow as a human being. She also mentioned that collegiate gymnastics has helped her carry the values of teamwork in the elite circuit and also during her training sessions. She said (via Olympics.com):

"NCAA experience has played a huge part. Just seeing the difference in my maturity as an athlete, and also as a human, definitely helped me. NCAA is all about high energy. You’re one team, one goal. With elite, it’s a little different, but keeping that same mindset definitely helped because going back into practice at [World Champions Centre], I was like, ‘Guys, we’re going to do this.We’re going to go out there, and we’re going to have fun."

Competing for the UCLA Bruins, Chiles tasted success in 2022 when she won the floor exercises and uneven bars titles during the 2023 NCAA Gymnastics Championships. Chiles also clinched second place finish in the all-around event of the tournament as Utah's Maile O'Keefe bagged the first place.
