Even if kids don't love gymnastics, if they start at any age with some classes, they can learn so many different things - they can build a lot of character, strength, flexibility, and courage. Hopefully, they can also develop a sense of fearlessness.

At the 2012 Olympic Trials, I wanted to make a second Olympic team. I fell face first, and in a blink of an eye, my dreams of competing in a second Olympics were over. Even so, I got up, finished my routine, and saw twenty thousand people cheering. It was my first standing ovation.

Being with someone I love and care about to feed off positive energy is crucial.

Gymnastics has given me everything in my life. I will continue to stay involved and try to give back to the sport that has given me so much.

I'm passionate about health, nutrition, fitness, and inspiring people to live a healthy and active lifestyle.
