About this episode

Jordan Chiles joins the Ball in the Family podcast to discuss her Olympic journey, the pressures of elite sports, and her creative routines.

On this episode of Ball in the Family, hosts Lonzo Ball, LiAngelo Ball, Anthony Salazar, and Darren Moore welcome Olympic Gold Medalist and UCLA gymnastics star Jordan Chiles for a wide-ranging conversation on sports, pressure, and life as an elite athlete. Jordan breaks down what it’s like training and competing on the Olympic stage, who carries the most pressure in big moments, and how Olympic preparation compares to the NBA and music industry. She also dives into the creativity behind her floor routines, including her Beyoncé and Usher-inspired performances. The crew discusses her journey to Olympic gold, the transition between competing for Team USA and UCLA, and what makes a great teammate at the highest level.
