I very much looked up to Janet Evans and Summer Sanders.

Pilates is an awesome cross-training exercise for any sport because it focuses on functional movement.

I hate how late we have our Olympic Trials, always have.

Cooking a fantastic meal is therapeutic. I like the entire process-the chopping, the stirring. At the end, hopefully you get to enjoy a great meal with a friend or loved one.

There's an adage that a lot of coaches have, that I completely disagree with, is if you make the Olympic team too early you become complacent.

I actually love swimming but I just hate jumping in the water.

I don't have any superstitions, but what I always travel with is my pillow and my coffee.
