A line I like to use is, "Every day is training. Every day of life is a pursuit of perfection."
Jonathan HortonIt was definitely a big change in my life going from the college scene to really kind of being on my own. I got married and moved to Houston and started a whole new journey. It was scary in a way, but what's great for me is just focusing on gymnastics and my wife. I'm really able to put 100% into what my goals are.
Jonathan HortonIt's not about winning or losing a competition, it's about beating the doubt from within yourself and knowing at the end of each day you are one step closer to your goals.
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 HortonI'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 HortonI changed my diet drastically. In college, I was a typical college guy who ate junk food all the time. When you're in college, your metabolism is through the roof. I felt like my body started to change when I was 22 or 23, so I started meeting with a nutritionist and it completely changed everything.
