I didn't know how I was going to get to the Olympics, and in the beginning, I didn't really care. And that was the best part, because my desire exposed me to so many different sports, and in all of them, I always dedicated my best effort because I knew that's what it was going to take to become an Olympian.

For the past fourteen years, it's been my job to push past my boundaries and do things I never thought I could do, which is why it's been such a fulfilling career.

Eat lots of fresh vegetables, drink water, exercise often, and meditate daily.

I'm fearful when I push myself. It's a tough thing to do, but you need to acknowledge that you have what it takes to succeed.

Every single one of us has the unique opportunity to create awareness and influence change

Imagine if the mistakes we made actually helped us to just become better versions of ourselves. I believe this is what life is about, and when we look at it this way, then there is nothing to be afraid of!
