I don't think I have the mileage on me to really complain of any injuries yet.

Doing your best is more important than being the best.

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

In gymnastics, the longest routine you do is a minute and a half, and that's pretty tough to get through.

I can now successfully drive a stick. That's a huge accomplishment.

You have to remember that no matter how big your goals or how many you have, there are going to be times when you miss by a little bit. You have to be realistic and flexible. One reason I have so many smaller goals is that even if my big goals don't happen, I've still achieved so much along the way, I don't feel the loss.

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.
