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 live in a swimsuit so I'm really comfortable with my body.

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.

Without goals, training has no direction.

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

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.
