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?

Set daily, monthly and long term goals and dreams. Don't ever be afraid to dream too big. Nothing is impossible. If you believe in yourself, you can achieve it.

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.

You don't always get stronger on the days that everything comes easily to you.

Finish what you start, no matter how painful it may be.

Without my parents and their love and support in my life, I would not be who I am or where I am today.
