Simone Biles has often said she aims to inspire the upcoming generation. The American has encountered numerous challenges throughout her journey as a professional gymnast, be it in the form of injuries or mental health struggles.

After every setback, Biles emerged stronger and expressed how she hoped to inspire young female athletes to dominate sports and not be deterred by failures. She believes seeing more women take center stage will motivate the upcoming generation to strive for greater heights.

“A big focus for me right now is inspiring the next generation of female athletes to dominate in sports like just men, which we honestly proved at the Olympics when women overall picked up more medals than men because once you are in the spotlight you need to use that momentum,” she said in 2017 (via People).

“There’s so much focus on men in sports, so we just want women to know to never give up and chase their dreams. We’re always doing that, we’re always on,” she added.

Simone Biles urged young women to dream bigger and chase their goals without being bound by limitations.
