I was able to do Classics, the U.S. national championships and the Pan American Games and feel like I improved with each meet, but I was still struggling with a lot of residual pain from the two surgeries.

Were taught at such a young age that you can always be better and that youre never perfect and that youre never good enough.

If you lose the nerves, you lose the sport.

I set my phone with motivational quotes to go off on random days and times. Like, 'You're stronger than you think you are.' I'll forget about it, then one will pop up and it'll give me a little boost.

I pay attention to my diet to be a healthier gymnast, but I'm not obsessive over it.

I have a healthy lifestyle, but there's nothing you can really do to prevent from rolling an ankle or something like that.

I was at the Olympic Games winning medals and I still doubted my image. I doubted what I looked like. That's sad.
