Missy always thought she was athletic, but after training with professional gymnasts for her role in “Stick It,” she had to reconsider her definition of the word. As she tells International Gymnast, “I’m embarrassed I called myself an athlete before. I didn’t understand what was actually required of me.” In this interview, Missy talks about how demanding and occasionally painful her training was, the rewards of learning to do proper front and back handsprings and what she learned about hard work and dedication from the real gymnasts she worked with.
