Jade Carey<\/strong> competed in her second Olympic Games<\/a> when the event kicked off in Paris, France, in July 2024. Her dad, Brian Carey<\/strong>, has always been super supportive of his daughter\u2019s dreams, which doesn\u2019t come as a surprise, considering he was once a gymnast himself. Jade\u2019s time in the spotlight has led fans to become curious about Brian.<\/p>\n Jade\u2019s dad, Brian, owns Carey On Gymnastics in Phoenix, Arizona. The former gymnast is also his daughter\u2019s coach and her biggest fan. In February, Brian opened up about Jade\u2019s talent with Corvallis Gazette-Times<\/em>.<\/p>\n \u201cI knew when she was young, she had a gift. I didn\u2019t want to push it, definitely didn\u2019t want to push it for me,\u201d Brian told the publication<\/a>. \u201cI wanted her to hopefully fall in love with the sport, which she did. I just thought it would be too much when she was little to be coaching her all the time. So I would just clap and ask her how her day was and if she had fun. That was about it.\u201d<\/p>\n After Jade won a gold medal in the Tokyo Olympics, the Arizona native gushed about her father\u2019s help in supporting her dreams.<\/p>\n \u201cHaving my dad here means everything to me; this is all we\u2019ve ever dreamed of,\u201d Jade said, per the Carey On Gymnastics website<\/a>. \u201cIt\u2019s just really special to be able to get this medal with him out there by my side. He\u2019s supported me 100 percent the whole time.\u201d<\/p>\n Jade committed to Oregon State University at only 14 years old, but after she graduated from high school in 2018, she had to defer her enrollment in order to train for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. She officially began her college career at OSU in 2023, and Brian followed Jade to the university. Brian landed a job as Oregon State University\u2019s assistant coach for their gymnastics team.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m just excited to be here,\u201d Brian told The Daily Barometer<\/em><\/a> shortly after taking the position. \u201cIt\u2019s a great program and I\u2019ve had the opportunity to watch from a distance and both be kind of close to it, at the same time working with Jade, but I\u2019m just really excited to be here.\u201d<\/p>\n Brian continued, \u201cThis staff works really well together and so that\u2019s going to be a good time I think and we are going to keep going in a positive direction forward and keep the athletes going in the right direction, keeping their wellbeing as a priority.\u201d<\/p>\n Before the Games started, Brian missed Team USA\u2019s<\/a> official practice on July 25, 2024.<\/p>\n \u201cCoach Brian Carey is not feeling well today and will miss Women\u2019s Podium Training,\u201d the official account for Women\u2019s Gymnastics posted via X<\/a> on July 25, 2024. \u201cHe will return to the team soon.\u201d<\/p>\n On July 28, 2024, Jade admitted that she was feeling under the weather as well.<\/p>\n \u201cI just have not been feeling well the past few days and haven\u2019t been able to eat or anything,\u201d Jade told Olympics.com<\/a> after the opening day of the women\u2019s competition. \u201cI had, like, no energy today and didn\u2019t really have a sense of what was going on in my head. So, I just kind of wanted people to know that, so they know that there\u2019s actually something wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\nWho Is Jade Carey\u2019s Dad, Brian Carey?<\/h2>\n
