貝茨曾在 1984 年洛杉磯夏季奧運會上獲得三枚金牌，他是少數幾位能夠體會到像體操運動員西蒙拜爾斯 (她在日本奧運會上退出了一些比賽項目) 和網球名將大坂直美 (她在 6 月份退出了著名的溫布爾登網球錦標賽) 這樣的運動員所承受的壓力和情緒的精英運動員之一。

Bates, who won three gold medals at the 1984 Summer Games in Los Angeles, is one of the few elite athletes who has some idea of the stress and emotions that run through athletes like gymnast Simone Biles, who withdrew from some Olympic events at the Games in Japan, and tennis ace Naomi Osaka, who left the prestigious Wimbledon tournament in June.
