Note sull'episodio

Join us for a conversation with elite gymnast Toby Liang as he shares what his journey has actually looked like—from getting started to competing at the college level. We get into the ups and downs, what helped him push through tough moments, and why the right environment can make or break your experience in the sport.

Toby also talks about the mental side of gymnastics, how he’s learned to stay resilient, and what it takes to balance high-level training with life outside the gym (including his interest in photography).

If you’re in the gymnastics world, there’s a lot here you’ll relate to.

Highlights:

  • How Toby got started and what led him into competitive gymnastics
  • What stood out to him about the culture and coaching at Roswell and Nebraska
  • The challenge of balancing personal goals with being part of a college team
  • How he approaches strength training and staying healthy through injuries
  • Why mindset and community have played such a big role in his growth at Flip Fest
