Jordan Chiles, a two-time Olympian and three-time NCAA champion, has transformed her self-perception as an athlete. Initially struggling with feelings of insecurity about her appearance, Chiles felt empowered viewing herself as a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model. Her emotional reaction mirrored her motherâs pride in her journey from self-doubt to self-acceptance. Chiles has made significant achievements in gymnastics, winning medals at major competitions and leading her team at UCLA, where she plans to continue competing.
But when I first saw photos of myself as a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model, "I literally started bawling my eyes out," Chiles recently told People magazine.
It was just really cool for her to know that I get this opportunity and that I get the ability to embrace who Jordan is.
