I made myself a little angry before beam. That's the best way to do beam. It's important to fuel yourself with some devastating things, but I also realized that if I daydream about doing well and having this silver medal, it's more motivating than focusing on the negatives. So I learned to focus on the positive. Aly Raisman angrybeamdaydream share on social

We get so caught up in winning all the time, but it's also even more important to be a good person, so that's what I learned. Aly Raisman catchgoodimportant Change image and share on social
