Season 3, Episode 3: How Hollywood Stunt Work Spurred Jen Hansen’s Elite Gymnastics Comeback at 37

Episode Summary

Part 1 of a 2-part episode: Jen Hansen (known by many in the gymnastics world as "Jenny" or just "Hansen") might be the only gymnast whose training was influenced by her own experiences in Hollywood. Jen joins Better Late to talk about how she got started in gymnastics (and why the Olympics were never something she thought much about), the insane time crunch she had to meet in order to do stunt work on the TV show Make It or Break It, and how her time on the show inspired her to make an elite gymnastics comeback at 37. Plus, she talks about the mental advantages adult gymnasts have, coaching, her personal training practice, and more.
