Laurie Hernandez Talks Mental Health and Gymnastics at Cornell Q&A

Two-time Olympic medalist and Dancing with the Stars champion Laurie Hernandez discussed gymnastics and mental health at a Friday night talk. During the event, Hernandez shared that his journey on Team USA was characterized by injuries, setbacks and resilience.

The Cornell University Program Council, in conjunction with La Asociacion Latina, hosted the live lecture and Q&A.

When 15-year-old homeschooled Hernandez had to stop her gym training due to a strained VMO muscle, she found herself suffering from all signs of burnout and overwhelmed by the pressure of her sport. So, in March 2016, she resigned.
