I'm more of a hands-on person. I like working with young people from the standpoint of providing support for the grassroots programs. State, national and Olympic champions begin at a grassroots level.

I'm not shy. I'm modest, but I'm very outgoing.

I don't have to be enemies with someone to be competitors with them.

I've had asthma my entire life.

Give back in some way. Always be thoughtful of others.

I set my sights on making an Olympic team, not realizing how tough it was going to be.

When I was in elementary school, we weren't allowed to do sports other than cheerleading. By junior high, they let us play, but we had to come back after 6:30 p.m. to practice because there was only one gymnasium and the boys used it first.
