Simone Biles, Ginny Fuchs and more Olympians talk about prioritizing mental health

Athletes are sharing the importance of keeping their mental health in check while training for Olympic gold ahead of the games in Tokyo.

American gymnast Simone Biles prioritizes her mental health whenever she feels like she needs to, she told Health magazine in June.

"For a while, I saw a psychologist once every two weeks," she says. "That helped me get in tune with myself so that I felt more comfortable and less anxious."

American boxer Ginny Fuchs told USA TODAY that she's struggled with OCD almost all her life.
