Episode 21 Melisa Torres: Author The Perfect Balance Gymnastics Series, "It's All About Change‪"‬ Tumbling Along With Betsy

“It’s All About Change”  In this episode of Tumbling Along with Betsy, Author Melisa Torres and I discuss many important topics facing the world of gymnastics, including her newest book: “Season Of Change”  which deals with topics ranging from a new gym, new coaches and relearning skills, all challenging parts of a gymnast’s journey.  


We also discuss a major them in her next book series: PUBERTY and BODY CHANGES and how this will be a central them in the next segment of her Perfect Balance Gymnastics Book Series. 


I truly enjoy working and talking with Melisa because we have the same mission on helping develop well rounded, confident, independent and strong young women.  I’ve realized just how very important it is to be a strong woman leading other strong women in our sport. I would encourage any young reader and gymnast to pick up this book series. 


Some other major topics of discussion in this episode:
How reading is so important to our kids and broadens their vocabulary and life experiences. 


SafeSport and how she used her latest book to encourage athletes to have a voice.


The lack of diversity in literature and how gymnasts have acquired BALANCE through COVID


How women cheering on other women (girls cheering on girls) is a central theme to her books.
