After becoming the 2006 U.S. champion in women's trampoline, Blanchard stepped away from the sport in 2007. She told the Houston Chronicle: "I had some complications with the gym and the coach. I just had to get away from it all." [3] During an eight-month break, she worked out with her brother, Caleb Blanchard, an IFBB professional body builder.
When the U.S. secured a wildcard Olympic spot, Blanchard applied to the Olympic Training Center Program in Colorado Springs, where her former coach was training Olympic prospects.
