Teen Vogue noted that Jordan was not interested in pursuing a career coaching the gymnastics of the future, writing that she “feels too close to what the gymnasts are experiencing.”
Instead, the outlet noted that she’s considering a career in real estate.
During the conversation, Jordan also addressed how she responds to her critics and the pressure of competing at the Olympics.
“There is a lot of pressure, but I take my pressure turned into something great,” she said. “I use every negative comment — everything that’s thrown at me. And I use it to continue on my task, my journey. People will always expect you to do something, but when I look at those people, I ask those people, ‘Why do you expect something out of me when I’m the one doing it?’”
