Homeschooled Olympians
The Olympics are over, and homeschoolers brought home some metal! Check out these homeschooled Olympians!
Gabby Douglas - Gymnastics
"Being homeschooled gives me the freedom not to be confined to just a classroom for learning. I'm learning everywhere, everyday. My classroom really is the world! I travel to competitions in countries all over the world and we use that as part of my studies. I work at my own pace which allows me to follow my gymnastics dreams. Being homeschooled also helps build my self-discipline and time management. I have to balance priorities and school is definitely a very important one to me."

He was homeschooled for his final two years of high school so that he could train for seven hours during the daytime and focus on academics at night."
Moriah Jefferson - Basketball

If you know other homeschooled Olympians or athletes, please share the information here! I love hearing about athletes who utilize homeschooling! I've always thought homeschooling would be a perfect fit, and provide enough time to train.
