Adversity, if you allow it to, will fortify you and make you the best you can be.

It's the best thing in the world, the most challenging thing in the world, being a parent, and one of the first lessons I learned was to ask for help.

I want to be the best role model I can be for my family.

I firmly believe that when you have a foundation of respect, love of what you're doing, and a shared vision, so much is possible.

I think the hard part is over. Now it's time for us to play.

Misty [May] and I had something magical, and I think at the basis of that was so much trust. Especially in the really competitive situations where it really felt do-or-die, we were unbreakable. We always stuck together, even if we lost we were together.

The advice I will give my children, if and when they have Olympic aspirations, will be to go for it.
