My parents sacrificed so much for all of us. It makes me want to give back to them by being the best I can be.
Diana LopezI've been training super hard at the Lopez Taekwondo Academy in Houston, which belongs to my brother Jean. For me, I think confidence is the biggest thing; it's all mental. I train with the best of the best, including my brother Steven, a five-time world champion who won Olympic gold medals.
