Laura Nielsen is one of the top CrossFit athletes in the world, but she didn't set out to be a competitive CrossFitter. She had done a little gymnastics as a child but she had to quit after her first competition, and her love for gymnastics has been fuel ever since. Laura joins Better Late host Pam Majumdar to talk about getting a scholarship to college as a cheerleader, and how her a desire to do gymnastics as an adult led to her joining World Class Gymnastics as a coach, where she was Pam's first competitive team coach. She talks about coaching an adult gymnast, why CrossFit is the perfect sport for any athlete with a gymnastics background, and using setbacks to push yourself forward.
