I am a 2016 Olympic Alternate and former NCAA athlete and have deferred my senior year at the University of Utah to come back to elite gymnastics and try for a spot on the 2021 Olympic Team. This channel documents my journey and gives insight into the life of someone preparing for the Olympics!

I am really hoping she does a sort of travel vlog. I just really love behind the scenes stuff.
I think we all do 😂 It might be hard for her to do all the filming by herself while also focusing on being at the freaking Olympics.
@@katekramer7679 I know, I just hate that the athletes family and friends can’t be there to provide support, and share in the greatest moments of their lives.
@@shmock5504 I hate it, too, but the alternative is horrible to think about. ESPECIALLY for MyK, since she's already had COVID once.
Same!!!
@@katekramer7679 She's like always 6 ft away from Leanne.
hey Myk! I’m a professional ballet dancer and just wanted to give you a little tip on your pirouette with your leg parallel! You tend to (like a lot of people) stick your neck out a little bit and tuck the head which can cause the turn to be wobbly. Try and lengthen your neck a feel like your “ears are being pulled back”. If you watch Shawn Johnsons beam routines at the Olympics she did those turns realllllly well so maybe look at hers! 🤗 I want to see you in that All-Around SOOO much and every tenth counts so thought I’d just give you a heads up as an adoring fan! You are gonna CRUSH THIS!!! ❤️
Very kindly worded advice. I’m certain MyK will appreciate this. ☮️💟
Thank you for being so kind! 🤗🤗
Ooo great tip! I have the same problem with my head being wonky on my turns. GO MYK!
awesome . . . you are a nice person
Omgosh i was gonna say the same thing! Us dancers think alike.
"OK so can I be done? I'm just kidding." CUT TO Bob, no reaction 😂
😂 I freakin love that! I would tell my girls all the time, ok, one more good set and you’re done, knowing good and well they were probably going to have to do 3 more. Here’s this Olympian, 2 weeks out from the biggest meet of her life and she’s trying to get out of an assignment! 😂 No shade intended. Olympics aside, she’s got to be exhausted by now. I was watching just now thinking, how cool-she started her gymnastics career as a kid in her club gym, rose to the top of the sport, had an illustrious career at Utah, and will now end her career by competing for her club gym at the Olympics! Keep pushing girl, almost there!
I held back tears when she was on the team. I'm so proud of her...the underdog. I hope she medals
She's not on the team, she's competing as an individual. But yes we're all so proud of her and we hope she medals 🙂
@@ilikeyoutube836 she is still the part of Team USA :) just wont compete at team finals.
@@ilikeyoutube836 she’s still part of team usa
Remember Danell Leyva in 2016? I have a feeling she will be just like him!!
@@jezykc1636 She also won't compete at Team qualifiers.
Seems like a good plan to me. Don't really need to add any difficulty at this point as it risks injury.
It's about cleaning up the execution.
Yes this is an absolute must. Her difficulty is impressive enough. The ONLY thing that has ever hurt her scores is her form. Is she cleans that up she'll medal for sure
Yes a routine where she in confident is most important a new routine or even small changes she won’t know as well and might be nervous and not execute as well
Yes! But hopefully focus on VT in order to get that medal 🥇🥈🥉
When you are done competing I would like to see what your workouts look like as a non athlete, also the recovery you have to do after competing all these years to be pain free, if you get the surgery, any physical therapy you have to do when your done competing as well. What your body goes through just to be a normal person after competing. Thank you!! Good luck!!
We are planning to keep the videos going so I'll definitely show that!
@@MyKaylaSkinnerOfficial That’s terrific because I’m trying to lose 50 lbs and while I don’t expect to be doing any flip flop being able to run again would be wonderful!
McKayla, I know you want to medal and I pray for you. That stated, Lord willing you will see this, You have touched so many lives. I am recently widowed. Not only did I watch my husband pass but am I now a single mom of 3 kids. 2 of which are still young 10 and 14. Many nights I have not been able to sleep and I watched your videos. You encouraged me to keep going and passed the time of late nights. Between you and .Chelsea it is don’t give up. Thank you for sharing your journey. McKayla Skinner is already a winner
You got this! 🙂
Honestly, you have a good bar set. Only the flex feet and leg separation. IF she cleans that up and she's one step closer. BTW.. I am so proud of you!!
I feel like it's probably better to just leave some encouragement than critique/coaching - pretty sure she's getting plenty of that from her own coaching staff and will get even more while she's doing workouts in Tokyo.
@@FlyingPancake0390 It's true though. MyKayla is a powerhouse with impressive skills a lot of difficulty in her routines, and the ONLY thing that has ever hurt her scores is her form. If she could just clean that up she'd be unstoppable. It's CONSTRUCTIVE criticism, and not meant to discourage her in any way. We all love MyKayla and want to see her succeed by doing her absolute best
@@ilikeyoutube836 💯
I think she can medal on bars...she said she is cleaning up form!!! I'm rooting for another bar champion in US behind Sunisa
@@myahill909 delusion, convince yourself
15 seconds in and I'm sooo excited that your are gonna do AA!!! I was hoping for that!
I really wish you all the best and that you can win some medals at the Olympics!
Me too! I got so excited at that point and then to see her execution improvement and the coaching focus on this during bars, I thought…she can really do it.
@@aussielawyer Yes! i also think it would be such a serve if she scored really well and proved everyone that putting her on the team would have been the better decision
Love the way Bob coaches! I know we usually don’t see him at events but I would be thrilled if we saw him in Tokyo!
bars are looking stronger than ever. she’s gonna kill it in tokyo!
her leaps are really improving !! most are at least 180 now
Thank you BOB for explaining!! I’ve been so confused and if I’m honest, still am.
You got this girl. You have the skill. Plus, you have the HEART, PASSION AND DESIRE!
Literally the only difference is not competing in team finals :)
i love how you always use your taping time to talk directly to us! i’m the furtherest thing from an athletic trainer or olympic gymnast, but i feel like i could apply your tape in my sleep by now 😂
you deserved this so much Myk! i’ve enjoying watching your journey from the very beginning. seeing you achieve your dream makes me incredibly happy! i’ll be watching you at the Olympics later this month!
Damn her dismounts are phenomenal!
You’re doing it, Mykayla!✨I could imagine qualifying for the Olympics may feel surreal because you worked so hard to achieve the goal! Whether or not you feel it, you’ve earned the right to be there and it’s been a pleasure watching your journey. You’re a testament to the power of perseverance and not giving up on your dreams! xo PS Bless you, Jonas!! 🙃
I cried tears of joy and relief when you made the team. I am sad that there won't be fans in Tokyo for you, but I hope you know that there is a lot of love and support coming your way from home. Keep working hard and good luck at the olympics. Can't wait to watch you do your thing and to see you peak at the right time.
You have the difficult for the AA and and a couple event finals. You got killed with little deductions at trials, just keep working on the tenths Myk. We are rooting for you!
Myk saying she hasn't tumbled in sooo long after a week.
*me thinking about the fact that I haven't tumbled in years* 😳
“Believe in your own magic. You already have what it takes. Dream big. Be bold. Have faith. Inhale positivity. Exhale self-doubt. You’ve got this.” Oh Mykayla....you sooooo got this!
Fine tune, fine tune, fine tune. So dedicated. Amazing.
Please record the Olympic processing day (I think that's what it is called?) where you get all the swag!
OMG this would be amazing. MyK, just get a GoPro and strap it to yourself and don't worry about getting the framing perfect. Yes yes yes
mykayla is giving us the gymnastics content that we have always needed
Can't wait to watch you and the rest of the gymnasts!
Oh my gosh you are getting better and better Everytime I see you!!!! Your going to kill it in Tokyo!!!!! Your execution is coming along beautifully, it's those little tenths here and there that can raise your score more and more.....as you already know! I just feel that your going to be at the very peak in Tokyo and your going to be the talk of Tokyo!!!!!!!!
Praying for your success. You got this precious girl! So happy to see you on the Olympic Team. God bless you, Jonas and Melo
I’m so proud of you beautiful girl! Live in the moment! You deserve this! 💖💜💖💜💖💜💖💜
you’ve got this Myk!!!! we will all be cheering you on!
So happy for you MyKayla!! You earned this!! Can't wait to see you in Tokyo!!

Great job Myk! So proud of you and will continue rooting for you all the way till Olympics ❤
Love you Myk and so happy you are an Olympian! You deserve it! You're looking great! All the best to you in the coming weeks!! YOU GOT THIS!
I am glad she's doing all around❤️, excited to see her in Tokyo👏
I am so excited you are going to fulfill your Olympic Dream! Congratulations and the best of luck to you, Mykayla!
Go head on MyKayla!!!!!! You are the BOMB!!!!!! I wish you all SUCCESS for the olympics and just in general!!! You are a true joy to watch in your sport!!!! Thank you for sharing your gymnastic journey.
Wow so excited and happy for you mykayla! Stay encouraged and strong! We are all cheering for you and keeping uplifting thoughts! Sending some love your way!!!! Have an awesome time at the olympics and stay focused! be safe!
All your hard work has paid off! Us fans are so proud of you! Team Myk!!!!!! You are going to hit! Praying for you ❤️🥇
good luck in Tokyo! I love that you're showing athletes that they can come back and be competitive after college ♥️
Thank you for sharing a glimpse of your life ! The time in doing so when you (and your husband) really don't have to just shows how you're committed. Stay safe and cool 😎
You look so strong, powerful, and elegant! I'm soooooo excited this is happening for you, you've worked incredibly hard and overcome so much. I'm sure you've learned so much through this. Now it's time to reap your reward🥰
Man those tuck full-ins in beam had some air time--it was like you hung there for a second before landing. Great job. I’m really glad you are going to Tokyo. I hope you bring home a medal or two of your own. Good luck! 🍀 🍀🍀 Remember to: be in the moment, do what you always do in practice and have fun. Oh and breathe. Sometimes a deep breath makes all the difference.
Edited to add: on the days you feel the most run down talk to your body. Our cells respond to what we say to them. If you say, “I’m exhausted and so tired.” That is what your body feels. If you say: “I can do this one more time then I feed and rest up.” The body is like: oh okay I’ve got this. I really think USAG should have the national team work with a nutritionist. Y’all need energy food and yes that is carbs actually. If you have too much protein your body runs low on energy because of a lack of good carbs. I’m sure you know this already. You’ve got this. Holding space for your journey!
Ahhhh I'm so so proud of you Mykayla!!! Keep up the good work and can't wait for Tokyo:)
MyKayla, your so talented!!!!! I look up to you! 💗 You inspire me so much and I love you!
I’m SO PROUD OF YOU MYK!! I’ve been following your journey since the beginning of your channel and am so thrilled you made the team!!! Praying for your safety, health, and stamina as you make the final push in training and head to Tokyo!
Love you! You’re killing it! So proud
So excited for you!! You made my morning. My car wouldn’t start and I had to wait for AAA, which I’m not the best start to my morning, but you changed my mood around! You had an excellent day training, love your coaches, love your updates!
So so happy for you. Woohoo. Your endurance is much better. I love your floor music. It’s got a playfulness to it. Thank you for sharing your journey. ❤️❤️
Ahhhh, I’m so excited for youuuu. Excited to watch you absolutely kill it in Tokyo!! Rooting for youuuu❤️🔥❤️🔥
Hey OLYMPIAN! I started watching Golden and it’s so cool to see you talking about trying to make the Olympics and now you have!!
You are an inspiration to me. Cheering you on all the way!
Your UB routine looks awe-some! I love the upbeat floor music. You are so hardworking. BB split leaps and turns are gorgeous.
I am so so so happy for you!!! I was crying watching the trials. You so deserve it!!!
So happy you are going All Around! You've got this, Mykayla 🎉
I’m SO EXCITED for you! You’re looking great and I can’t wait to see you win some medals! You deserve it!
Myk, you are continuing to improve! I love Bob's philosophy! I definitely think working all 4 events is the way to go! I have been watching you for several years now and am absolutely stoked that you are going to Tokyo. Great job at OT's...stay healthy- really looking forward to you bringing it ( congrats to your great coaching team as well).
I’m completely blown away at how much you keep continuing to improve! Good luck in Tokyo!
I love that you guys take the time to post videos when you are both busy. The videos are so well edited and are very entertaining I have watched every video!❤❤
Handstands and feet/legs form on bars are looking great. I think Myk is peaking right on time for Olympics
Go Myk! can’t wait to see you as an Olympian!!!!!!!
So great to see Myk making her full routines on bars… I remember when she was struggling to make the skills! Amazing progress! Best of luck in Tokyo!
I hope to see more interviews of you Myk and the other members on national television! Is there anything planned? Have fun the next few days in the gym! You‘re going to kill it! Enjoy this moment. This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Just get everything clean and try to add the triple twist for the 4th pass! Good luck Myk!
To be honest, you deserved this Mykayla. I glad to know you are going to leave for Japan soon! You always work at your hardest. I'm looking forward to seeing you in Tokyo! I love you more than ever!
Ready to watch you on TV!!! All the good luck sister 🍀💖
come on myk you got this! i cried when you made the team. you have come such a long way and every time i watch you, you just get better and better. keep pushing!!
Hi Myk & Jonas, Love your videos and so proud of you for making the team. I was crying uncontrollably when they announced your name. Absolutely love the training progress videos. Keep working hard and do your routines like you do in the gym, your a natural and when you focus will blow everyone away. Go gold you shinning star. ⭐️ be bright GOD BLESS 🇺🇸 ❤️
I know i already commented this in another post but I am so excited for you. You have worked so hard and it has paid off. I have watched all your competitions and RUclips videos and i know you totally deserve this. I absolutely love you and you are my biggest ispiration. Make sure to not over work yourself and stay positive. You got this. I beleive in you. Goood LUck and Im so exxcited and happy for youuuu.
I was wondering what time you guys were leaving for Tokyo. After your last video and how getting sleep was so terrible you everyone definitely needs at least a few days to adjust to the new place and bed because sleep is so important to performing your best. So excited to watch you all!
So happy it’s finally happening for you. Been following your journey feeling your nerves. Olympics so great. Stay safe xxx wishing you a safe trip there and to do your best and enjoy your journey. You are doing amazing!!
I'm so excited for you! You're looking great and you are going to have an amazing Olympics! Enjoy your experience and do your best and everything else will fall into place. Best of luck! ❤️
I’ll be cheering from Brazil! ❤️🇧🇷 go Myk!!!
Yay! So proud
Really interesting seeing your training. Thanks for being so open! Most people don't seem comfortable sharing what they struggle with in case they feel vulnerable I guess so its awesome to see your process and how you approach it.
Really interesting to see you working on the moors especially!
The fact that you nail that bars dismount every. single. time. is just incredible to me. You are just so experienced and understand flipping through the air so well. You're going to kill it in Tokyo and I'm so happy for you!
We are so Excited and proud for you
Good Luck, MyK! Kill it in Tokyo!
Congratulations on making it to Tokyo. That in and of itself is an amazing accomplishment. Good luck on any events you choose to compete in and hope to see you in a final.
You still have plenty of time. Just worry about the fine tuning. And take care of yourself.
I'm SO excited to watch you!! Wishing you the best of luck, MyKayla!! Congrats again on the Olympics!!
I’m so damn impressed by you. The change from video to video is incredible. Beam & bars look SO much cleaner & stronger than even a couple months ago! I’m cheering you on so hard - you’ve got this!
I've never seen an athlete work harder or deserve something more than you Mykala. I'm so excited to see you crush it in Tokyo.
I imagine it's hard at this point to keep pushing so I hope it helps to see how many people are cheering you on. It was so good to hear you laughing and enjoying yourself as your coaches help you reach for those last tenths. You look great on every event!
Thank you so very much for taking us on this journey before leaving for the Olympics. This is a special treat for us to see the “behind the scenes”. What you are doing is just incredible - and you hange made it so far!! Make sure to realize how far you have come- and just enjoy the whole process! Very very few get to where you are at. Again- thank you for sharing this with us. We are so proud to have you represent the USA⭐️❤️
Hey Myk, idk if you know this or not, but YOU'RE A FREAKING OLYMPIAN. I hope you take some time to take that in. ❤🤍💙
Man how do you train when you feel like that?? That’s some dedication - get it girl!! Congrats on making the team!
I’m so happy for you!! Get it girl! I love coach Bob’s style of coaching. Seems to care a lot about his gymnasts. We need more coaches like this in USA Gymnastics!
You have the best floor choreo and music by far!! I love how fun it is! Good luck at the Olympics!!
I love the 80s music playing. "Sunglasses at Night".
I’m so excited to watch you compete at the Olympics!
Stay healthy, strong and positive Myk your got this.Sending Love from the west coast❤️❤️❤️❤️
God bless you MyKayla, you are in my prayers for a wonderful, healthy, successful, and safe Olympics. Enjoy every moment! God bless America!!
Jonas’ sneeze 😂😂😂 “that’s disgusting”
I'm a tiny bit concerned that you doing AA means you have less time to focus on your vault or floor fx, but honestly... It's your final meet, and it's the OLYMPICS. Go big or go home, as they say!
Super excited to see you compete AA and I know ur gunna do great!
That’s what I also thought... Just focus on her strengths to earn a medal, rather than waste her time trying to reach AA Finals when we’ve got Simone, Suni, and Jordan who are ALL pretty solid AA gymnasts... But whatever makes Myk happy, I’ll support her! I’m just hoping she really earns a medal coz she’s been working so hard trying to get to the Olympic Team! 🥇
@@indakgalak TBH, I kind of think that if she keeps improving, her odds of qualifying to AA are on par with her odds of qualifying vault and floor. She's got the difficulty, and her form genuinely keeps getting better and better.
I just wish our women weren't having to compete against their teammates as much as (if not more than) they're competing against other countries.
There is only so much pounding you can do to practice vt and fx, esp given that she also has the bone spur pressing on the achille tendon. So it's good to do some ub and bb training also.
All 6 athletes will compete all 4 events during qualifications in Tokyo. The team will then put up the 'best' 3 on each event from the 4 person team for team finals and all 3 scores will count.
The top 2(per country) for AA and each event then go on to compete in the event and AA finals. I know there's a cap on how many total spots are in the finals I just don't recall what it is.
Given this it totally makes sense for MyKayla to continue pushing on each event.
I think it is better for her to do all around. Inside of me saying that she have a chance to qualified into all arround, vault, beam, and floor. She have a huge chance to qualified into vault final. She also have a good chance get into beam final. I know a lot of people will not agree with me on that, but she have 6.6 potential D-score on beam. If she can hit beam routine like in her training, i think she can get 7.6 + on execution. That will give her 14.2 on the beam. I think she can handle the pressure on the olympic better than at olympic trial. She had too much pressure on trial but still stay on the beam. The chance to get into beam final is bigger than floor final( if she still doing DDLO).
MyKayla, you are doing great! I've been watching your beam routine get better each time! Bars look great too! It's all coming together! Keep up the great work! Stay well!
Your videos make me have so much more respect for gymnasts or even elite athletes in general. Thank you so much for doing this MyKayla I am rooting for you! And thanks Jonas for working hard and being the best video producer you’re honestly such a pro now haha!
Bars are looking great!!! Your form as approved sooo much! Just don't over think or get ahead of yourself! I also think it is hilarious that you can't do a double lay, but can do a Silivas easy.
Damn, I have never been this fast! So proud of you girl!
Keep killing it girl! It’s looking cleaner every time. I am so excited to see you compete in the Olympics!
I'm so excited for you! Cannot wait to watch you in Tokyo! Congratulations! ❤🤍💙
