The hard work definitely paid off and hard work always does.

I think I would go for a Michael Phelps kind of guy.

I had to face a lot coming through this journey, a lot of sacrifices, difficulties, challenges, and injuries.

Let all that I am praise the LORD; may I never forget the good things he does for me.

I blast "Northern Sky," by the Capital Kings, on the way there, but at the gym, I totally zone out.

You need your mom and dad to protect you. It means they love you so much. It was awesome she was backing me up and defending me.

My mom says I'm a fighter, a fierce competitor, and I think I am, too.
