Summary ↴
Hannah Moreno's article in Women's Agenda reflects on the harmful effects of fear-based motivation in gymnastics and draws parallels to toxic workplace cultures. It contrasts the abusive coaching methods of Béla Károlyi with the recent success of the US Women's Gymnastics team at the Paris 2024 Olympics under a more supportive approach. The author argues that while fear-based leadership may produce short-term results, it ultimately leads to burnout and negative outcomes. The piece advocates for a positive, empowering approach that fosters longevity and sustainable success in both sports and professional environments.
