Jordan Bowers: Developing Discipline, Learning To Trust Yourself, & Being Present In The Moment

This week Andrew talks with University of Oklahoma gymnast Jordan Bowers. Jordan is a 2x National Champion, 7x NCAA All-American, & 2024 Big 12 Conference Gymnast of the Year.  In this conversation, Jordan shares a behind-the-scenes look at her journey — that’s taken her from her days as a 2-year-old in gymnastic classes all the way to the University of Oklahoma where she’s become one of the top college athletes in the U.S. This episode is filled with powerful ideas on developing discipline, learning to trust yourself, being present in the moment, & so much more. Jordan’s wisdom is well beyond her years — and this conversation is jam packed with actionable lessons that apply far beyond gymnastics.
