As you would agree, Simone Biles, who understands how powerful and motivating her story is, has sought to make use of different mediums to use her story to inspire people, especially women.
No wonder she penned her autobiography, Courage to Soar: A Body in Motion, A Life in Balance.
It is a gift to everyone moved by her success to give insight into her struggles to become one of the greatest gymnasts of her generation.
Aside from her autobiography, Simone Biles has always made use of almost every platform to inspire the next generation of achievers in athletics and other fields of life with her refreshing quotes.

That began the journey to become the most successful gymnast of her generation.
