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

I generally wake up at 4:30, have breakfast No. 1, then get to the pool by 5 a.m.

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

When I was little, I wasn't so little. I had a big old round belly and I was really clumsy, but I was super confident.

I was tempted my junior year to go out of college and forgo my eligibility. I had broken several world records. I did have a lot of people telling me that I should go pro.

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