I'm always nervous. If I wasn't nervous, it would be weird. I get the same feeling at all the big races. It's part of the routine, and I accept it. It means I'm there and I'm ready.

Most people don't think about plyometrics when they think about powerful strength. But I do lots of them to build mine.

My mom always has this amazing ability to always see the best in a situation.

I definitely think I put more pressure on myself. I can be hard on myself and super-critical and very rarely satisfied or happy. I am my biggest critic.

For me, there's a lot of expectations and you want to be able to live up to them.

Being a role model is a privilege.

I've got to make sure I'm keeping weight on.
