I want to be efficient and effective in everything I do.

My mom is a constant in my life in so many ways.

But they've [my children] made me better. They hold me more accountable for who I am and who I aspire to be, and they make me want to be better. And that's not just as a mommy, but as a woman and as an athlete.

We have to fight the entire time, we can't start at the end when it's getting down to crunch time. We can't leave anything on the floor.

Passion is a huge prerequisite to winning. It makes you willing to jump through hoops, go through all the ups and downs and everything in between to reach your goal.

I honestly feel like my job since I was 22 has been to be an Olympian.

And it's given me great perspective. It makes me really focused and efficient, which - I was focused before I had babies but I wasted a lot of time. Prior to having babies I thought I was so busy and now I realize just how ignorant I was.
