I'm very disciplined in many aspects of my life, and I think a lot of that has to do with how I was raised and the sport I've been in my whole life.
Jonathan HortonOne of the things about my sport that's important is consistency - being able to do your routines consistently and training consistently. If you change it up or try to make everything more intense because the Olympics is coming up, you tend to put too much pressure on your mind and your body.
Jonathan HortonI am completely honest and truthful when I say I donโt want a gold for myself. I want a gold for the team. You go up there and do it as a collective group and itโs so much more satisfying, I mean you look around and you see the faces and just wow, this was a team effort and we did this together. Itโs incredible and thatโs my dream. I wanna win a gold medal and see the flag go up, hear the national anthem and just know that I did it with my brothers standing next to me.
Jonathan HortonItโs called the pursuit of perfection. The pursuit is the idea that youโll never be perfect in gymnastics but you can continue to pursue it as long as youโre doing it. I donโt think itโs possible to be perfect in gymnastics. Itโs just one of those sports that youโre always trying to improve and pursue that perfection.
