I'm used to short distances and short bursts of energy; it was just fastest

In gymnastics, you have to be perfect every step along the way.

I'm coming up on 30. There are other things that I want to pursue outside of just performing.

Above all, you have to love what you are doing. You cannot fake passion. If you love it you can fight through the rough times and enjoy the good times.

Other people may not have had high expectations for me... but I had high expectations for myself.

If you want to take it up a step and aim to become a competitive gymnast, you have to be mentally strong and prepared to take on the workload of going to the gym every day, rain or shine.
