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.
The pressure of the Olympic Games is real overwhelming.
I generally wake up at 4:30, have breakfast No. 1, then get to the pool by 5 a.m.
Without goals, training has no direction.
Pilates is an awesome cross-training exercise for any sport because it focuses on functional movement.
I don't have any superstitions, but what I always travel with is my pillow and my coffee.
