[2] Today, she is the owner and head coach of the Jaycie Phelps Athletic Center in Greenfield, Indiana.

[4] Phelps made her senior debut at the 1994 American Classic in Orlando, Florida, which also served as the trials for the 1994 World Championships.

She attended the 1994 Olympic Festival in St. Louis, Missouri and placed 3rd all-around, plus 5th on balance beam and 6th on floor exercise.

She then rallied at the 1995 Classic, winning 1st in the all-around, uneven bars, balance beam, and floor exercise, and placed 2nd on vault.

She won the bronze medal in the team competition, and qualified for the event final on the uneven bars and placed 8th.

On day 2, she over-rotated her dismount on the balance beam and stumbled into a backward roll, but strong performances on the other apparatus helped her place 3rd all-around, securing a spot on the 1996 US Olympic Women's Gymnastics Team.

In the compulsories, she had a shaky performance on the beam and fell, but good routines on the bars, floor, and vault helped her team place second behind Russia.

In the optionals, she performed solidly, placing high on all four events and contributing to the team's first-ever Olympic gold medal.

Due to the fact that only three gymnasts from each country could perform in the all-around competition, Phelps could not compete in the final.

At the 2000 Classic, she competed on uneven bars, balance beam, and floor exercise, and qualified for the 2000 National Championships.
