Sinopse

The Alabama legend has returned to the NCAA, this time as one of the few black head coaches in college gymnastics. The "tall" (actually just slightly above average at almost 5'8") Miles Greig won a bronze medal with the U.S. team at the 2001 World Championships and made vault finals. She won the Honda Award (college gymnast of the year) and was a 4x NCAA Champion. We discuss: Why she idolized Elena Produnova. Which skills were hardest for her to learn. Which skill Simone Biles and Daiane Dos Santos competed that she also trained. Her experiences with Martha Karolyi and national team camp at The Ranch. Did she hate double tuck jumps as much as the fans did? What it was like competing with Raducan and Khorkina. If her height effected her gymnastics and experience with elite training and the advantage it gives her in coaching. How her family and friends protected her from unhealthy comments during her career. Transitioning to gymnastics at the University of Alabama and why she decided to become a sports comment
