Go into the sport because you have fun doing it, not because of 'what ifs' and dreams of gold medals. That way, no matter what happens, you win.

It's important to have a plan, a big picture. You can deviate from it or change it completely, but it gives you something to work for.

Everyone gets scared, and everyone falls. The key is to get right back up and try again.

Gymnastics is a lot like life. You don't become an Elite gymnast by bickering and having a negative attitude. You have to be positive to get to that level.

I'm a competitor. I really enjoyed the race more than just going out and running to run.

It's been really good to have a goal and go after it. That feels good
