Have you ever watched your athlete work unbelievably hard and still wonder if their moment will ever come? Maybe you have seen them push through setbacks, fear, or comparison and you hope someday all that effort will pay off. Every gymnast and every sports parent knows that feeling of waiting for the breakthrough.

In this week’s episode of the PerformHappy Podcast, I talk with Utah gymnast Sarah Krump, whose story is a powerful lesson in perseverance. Sarah grew up dreaming of competing for Utah, but when recruiting came around, the path did not unfold the way she imagined. She chose to walk on with no scholarship, trusting her gut even when the odds felt small.

She shares how she struggled with confidence in her early college years, how comparison held her back, and how her coaches and sports psych team helped her return to the joy of her own gymnastics. Then she tells the unforgettable story of being thrown unexpectedly into the floor lineup and delivering a routine that changed everything. Her journey is full of hope for parents, coaches, and young gymnasts who wonder if staying the course still matters.

In this episode, you will hear

• How Sarah followed her dream even without a scholarship
• What helped her overcome comparison and trust herself again
• The surprising moment she was called into the floor lineup
• How staying ready led to her breakthrough

Your gymnastics is for you to do. Your gymnastics is not for someone else to do. - Sarah Krump
