How a daycare field trip at age 6 changed Simone Biles’ life forever

Simone Biles’ extraordinary gymnastics journey began with an ordinary daycare field trip when she was just six. During a visit to a Houston gymnastics center, Biles copied the gymnasts she watched, catching a coach’s attention. The center later sent a letter home encouraging her to try gymnastics. That small invitation opened the door to a career that would eventually make Biles one of the greatest gymnasts in history.
