I'm just trying to really take it one day at a time, because for me - and I know this sounds cliche, whatever - I achieved my ultimate goal, and nothing can really top that, you know?

If you are afraid of failure, you don't deserve success.

You ask any person in the U.S. and they know who Mary Lou Retton is.

I've missed being able to flip in the air, flip on the beam and swing on the bars.

I knew that life isn't always just about the Olympic gold medals and the sponsors.

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.

I dont want to repeat my mistakes.
