The advice Simone said she gave her teammates was, “You have done all the training, you can do this without me and it will be just fine.”
“They were freaking out. They were like, crying, and I was like, ‘You guys need to relax, you’re going to be fine without me, go out there and kick some butt, just like we’ve done in training. And just lay it out on the floor and see what happens!’” Simone added.
“For me, I’m proud for how the girls stepped up and did what they had to do. I owe this to the girls, it has nothing to do with me,” she added. “I am very proud of them.”
Team USA placed in second and won the silver medal.
