A day in the life of Mykayla Skinner

A day in my life!! From the time I wake up until I go to bed, this is part one of a two-part series documenting my life and what it looks like to train for the Olympics.
I am a former NCAA athlete and have deferred my senior year to come back to elite gymnastics and try for a spot on the 2020 Olympic Team. This channel will document my journey and give you all insight into the life of someone preparing for the Olympics! Please leave a comment below and tell me what you want to see most. I only make videos that have been requested first!
I intend to post new videos every week, so hit subscribe and click the bell to get notified every time there’s something new :)

I love the fact that she does not go to gym until later in the day. You hear all the time about athletes going in at 6am everyday and I am just like dang give me an 11 o'clock practice any day. I love my sleep lol

[@mingming9604]

that's a perk of no longer being done with high school and no longer being home schooled and being able to defer the senior year of college. You can concentrate on training and at the same time not having to be up at 7 am and go beyond 7pm. Also the older gymnasts trains less hours but they train smarter. And just like Aly, her and Simone are getting more naps nowaday then when they were in their teens!...

[@LoyaFrostwind]

Yes, yes!

[@onmyown-]

I like how this is an honest video, and not that kind of videos that are extremely edited, loved it

[@MyKaylaSkinnerOfficial]

❤️❤️❤️

[@onmyown-]

@@MyKaylaSkinnerOfficialOMG U answered me, so I love your gymnastics, and I hope u will be on the US 2020 Olympic team. With this, I want ask, will u put a new skill on some apparatus👀👀???

[@olgafre]

Yes, that's great!!

[@freddycooks]

I agree

[@potato_wolf99]

Yes me too

[@aarulf]

"I really like naps. Me and Simone can tell you that one." Haha. Aly is probably like told you so

[@mette8416]

haha

[@ItsSeanzie]

I honestly love how real this video is. No antics or overexaggeration, it’s 100% genuine, and I feel like it makes it feel 1) more like a documentary and 2) easier to connect. This is awesome, keep it up, Mykayla! Hope to see you in Tokyo this summer! Also the FORM on the Amanar!

[@madieabernathy7302]

she looks and sounds so much like shawn johnson

[@shreyabanerjee9944]

Madeline Grace that’s exactly what I was thinking at first I was like is this Shawn and Andrew

[@Rtytanicj]

Madeline Grace I thought this when I saw her and her man. I’m like it’s the next Shawn Johnson east channel!! Looooove it!!!! 💜

[@alyssatony3701]

i was thinking that too!!!

[@darkexcalibur87]

Their husbands look similar too lol

[@shepherd941]

Eh. I can sorta see that

[@alisak3401]

I am so surprised how late you get up - I always thought gymnasts would be at training around 7 AM😃 It‘s so nice to get an idea about a normal day for you! Also what does Jonas do? Does he just hang out with you, does he work, does he study...?

[@mingming9604]

The advantage of no longer being in high school and not also taking college class right now :) .. The precollege gymnasts have to deal with also doing high school work and home schooling in between morning and afternoon practice. Also they have to do homework after practice in afternoon, etc. Btw, prop to Myk for maintaining great GPA in college while keeping up with her practice!

[@MyKaylaSkinnerOfficial]

Yep I need my sleep haha. It works out cause practice starts later anyways. Jonas travels for work once or twice a month and works from home the rest so it's pretty flexible.

[@kinglard2559]

Ming Ming i

[@LoyaFrostwind]

The benefits of being an independent adult gymnast. You can get up whenever you want really. You don't have to wake up at the buttcrack of dawn, unless you want to, of course.

[@funtimeswithnariman8303]

BRUH me I start at 7:10PM YES PM XD

[@mila9162]

I used to be a gymnast, and watching her do gymnastics just made my muscles twitch and instinctively react as if I was doing the tricks myself

[@chiknlittle]

I adore this channel already. Super thankful to have someone documenting the journey in its rawness, not just the end result.

[@aarulf]

I've been wanting someone to do this for so long. So when she said she was going to be making a KZbin channel, I'm like hell yes

[@chiknlittle]

Alex Arulf for real!

[@QueenScarletStarlet]

Jake Dalton did a road to RIO in 2016 - it was insightful. i loved learning about everything he was eating while training

[@sweetbug]

Congrats on making the olympic team and for winning the silver! We are so proud of you!

[@cocoadollyxoxo]

That little nap in the car is a whole mood 😂😍

[@frankdawson2572]

Amanar looks great!!! So awesome to see some of the work that goes into it! I'm rooting for ya on your journey to Tokyo!

[@zeafonso9416]

I am so HAPPY to see your youtube videos!!! Great to know your daily routines, great to meet your husband and how supportive he is! LOVE how the videos are real, no major editing... I am cheering for you for Tokyo 2020! Keep them coming!!! Get the sponsors now that you have your youtube chanel! (:)

[@KatieMcDonnell]

Ahhh this was so motivating to watch. I’m trying to get back into training after some time off for work and this seriously motivated me to really go for it! Thanks! ☺️

[@graciesgymnastics4947]

I literally love everything about this video! I've been waiting for a channel like Nile Wilson's for a while, so now we get to see how you train and your gym assignments is the coolest thing everrrrrrr xxxx

[@olgafre]

Loved this so much! Keep so much of this coming! I know you'll want to do other things, but more a day in the life please to keep up updated!

[@freddycooks]

Okay Jonas got me when he said "that's why they need this KZbin thing to blowup" I know he was somewhat joking about McKayla spending all their money, but I also know he is being honest about KZbin I definitely know the struggle is real with KZbin. I'm subbing just for that! Good luck on your channel. You''ll get there.

[@kaurilynn1639]

Freddy Cooks International SoulFood I literally did the same thing when he said that then I subscribed hahah

[@tynao2029]

Nesquik powder and organic whole milk is one of my favorite treats, it's good for your bones and gives you a good insulin spike pre or post workout. Add ice, peanut butter and bananas in a blender for the best simple shake

[@cmills53]

Love watching you - awesome!

[@amberwarring1581]

This is awesome! Keep the videos coming! Excited to watch you on your journey 😘 Congrats on getting married!
