In 2015 at the World Championships in Glasgow Scotland she became the only female gymnast to ever win three consecutive all-around titles. She is also the most decorated American female gymnast with a total of nineteen medals fourteen of them gold. Simone who was born in Ohio and later adopted by her grandparents in Texas began her training at age 6.

Simone rose quickly through the sports levels and in 2011 she began her junior elite career at the American Classics in Huntsville Texas where she placed third all-around. Amid a few setbacks in the following two seasons Simone rebounded in 2013 to claim the first of her three all-around World Championship titles. With her strong faith in God and her triumph against the odds Simone is inspiring millions to dream big and follow their hearts.
