A 2012 Olympic alternate, 2014 American Cup champion, and winner of the 2013 — 14 World Cup All-Around Series, Ebee went on to have even more success at Stanford, where she became a 2x NCAA champion, Pac-12 Gymnast of the Year, AAI Award winner, and one of the most decorated gymnasts in program history.

Recruit Reflections - Mya Jett (Uncommitted 2027)
This is Episode 3 of the Recruit Reflection Series, sponsored by Full Out Collegiate Recruiting. This week, we’re joined by Mya Jett, an uncommitted gymnast in the Class of 2027. Mya was originally committed to Iowa State on a full athletic scholarship, but as many unfortunately know, the program was cut in March, leaving several gymnasts — including Mya — without a home. Now heading into her senior year, Mya is navigating the recruiting process once again. Her story highlights just how competitive college recruiting has become, especially in this new era of roster limits, transfer portal movement, and talks of potential fifth-year eligibility. Mya was incredibly vulnerable in this episode, and we know there are many athletes in the Classes of 2027 and 2026 who can relate to the emotions she shares. From the shock of losing her original program to the rejection and uncertainty she’s faced throughout this increasingly competitive college recruiting landscape, Mya offers an honest look at the challenges many student athletes are experiencing today.

Interview with LSU star and stick queen Kailin Chio + news update
This week, we break down the latest NCAA coaching changes and transfer portal news, share highlights from the 2026 Development Program National Championships, discuss Ana Bărbosu’s suspension, and more. Later in the episode (around the 43-minute mark), we’re joined by Kailin Chio following the conclusion of her standout sophomore season at LSU. Chio made program history this year, recording 13 perfect 10s — the most ever by an LSU gymnast in a single season — and becoming the first LSU gymnast to earn a perfect 10 at nationals. She also captured the SEC all-around and vault titles, was named SEC Gymnast of the Year, and finished the season as a finalist for the Honda Award.

Interview with UCLA's Ashlee Sullivan + The NCAA offseason chaos begins
We’re kicking off May with a jam-packed episode. We’ve got one of UCLA’s star freshmen, Ashlee Sullivan, on the show, plus there has been so much news between coaching changes and the transfer portal, so we have a lot to unpack. Ashlee Sullivan is a four-time U.S. National Team member, an alternate for the 2025 Worlds team, the 2025 Winter Cup all-around champion, and now an NCAA All-American on floor after wrapping up her freshman season at UCLA. This season, she was a key contributor for the Bruins on vault, bars, and floor, posting career highs of 9.975 on vault, 9.925 on bars and 9.95 on floor. She was named Big Ten Freshman of the Week three times and was also a Big Ten Co-Event Specialist of the Week. She joins us to look back on her freshman season, the transition from elite to college, her goals for the summer, and whether or not LA 2028 is on her radar.

Mental Gymnastics: Understanding Mental Blocks with Jacey Vore
In the latest episode of Mental Gymnastics, Dr. JD Barton is joined by Jacey Vore, a two-time Big Ten Champion at the University of Michigan. Before her collegiate career, Jacey was one of the nation’s top Level 10 gymnasts, earning the 2019 Level 10 National All-Around title, qualifying for the Nastia Cup three times, and finishing as a two-time runner-up in the event. At Michigan, Jacey became a consistent presence in the Wolverines’ bar and beam lineups. Behind the scenes, however, she faced a significant challenge: an unexpected and intense mental block on vault that sidelined her from the event throughout her entire college career — until an emotional return on senior night, when she performed an exhibition routine. In this episode, Jacey opens up about the emotional toll of that experience — from frustration to the fear of letting others down — and shares how she worked through those challenges, ultimately finding strength, resilience, and a new perspective during her time in college.

Interview with Michigan's Ava Jordan
This week we’re joined by Ava Jordan, a junior at the University of Michigan. In her freshman year, she competed on vault in all but one meet, notching a season-best 9.85 in her very first collegiate appearance. She took things up a notch during her sophomore season, consistently competing in both the vault and bars lineups and earning her first career 9.9 score on bars at the Big Ten Championships. Now in her junior season, she’s making an even bigger contribution to the Wolverines by adding beam to the mix and scoring career highs on all three events: a 9.9 on vault, 9.925 on bars, and 9.95 on beam. Ava joins us to talk about what led her to Michigan, finding consistency on the competition floor, her future goals, and more. Plus, stick around after the interview for our thoughts on Iowa State cutting its gymnastics program and some other highlights as we head into postseason.

Price Is Right: Interview with Morgan and Frankie Price
This week's guests are sisters Morgan Price and Frankie Price. Morgan Price spent the first three seasons of her college career at Fisk University, competing for the first HBCU gymnastics team. She won six WCGNIC national titles and became the first HBCU gymnast to score a 10.0, earning the mark on uneven bars during her junior season. Now a senior at the University of Arkansas, she recently made history again as the first Razorback gymnast to score a 10.0 on vault. She is closing out her career alongside her sister, Frankie, a mainstay in Arkansas’ vault and floor lineups. Frankie owns career highs of 9.9 on vault and 9.975 on floor — the latter matching the program record. As a redshirt freshman in 2023, she shared the NCAA regional floor title. The sisters join the show to discuss Morgan’s historic 10.0, Frankie’s return from an Achilles injury last season and their goals for the remainder of their gymnastics careers.
