The Journey of an Olympian: Alexi Shostak's Path to Paris 2024Soul Fam

Born in Minsk, Belarus and raised in Lafayette, Louisiana from the age of six, Alexi Shostak is a two-time US Olympic trampolinist who competed at Tokyo 2020 and Paris 2024. Raised inside a family gymnastics legacy, he pairs world-class athletic discipline with meditation, breathwork, and a study of flow state as hyper-presence.
I sat down with Alexi to talk about the Olympics and we ended up talking about presence.
He carried his family from Belarus to Louisiana inside a gymnastics legacy, turned pro at fifteen, and became one of the only US men to bounce onto the Olympic stage twice, Tokyo behind closed doors, then the dream of Paris. The part that stayed with me was how he found his deepest flow state through meditation and breathwork, how he learned to be inspired by the journey itself, all the way to the event. Stress is a story about the future. He competes from presence, where the moment is whole.
When you want to see what it looks like to chase a dream at the highest level from inside the present moment, Alexi is who I’d point you to.
