In the first part of this episode, Nina discusses her early life as a Navy brat, moving frequently and discovering her passion for gymnastics. By age 13, she moved away from home to train at an elite center, which shaped her independence, discipline, and drive. Nina competed internationally, even rooming with Mary Lou Retton, but missed qualifying for the 1984 Olympics. Followed by a knee injury that ended her college gymnastics career, she left struggling with identity and purpose.
