That's the drama of our sport. Our margin of error is so small that anything can happen.

After 13 years of hard landings in gymnastics, one ski run had delivered the biggest injury of my career.

I was always trying to be leaner and thinner to fit the standard and the mold.

I don't call them sacrifices. I call them exchanges.

Don't force anything. Find what you love and stick with it.

In some ways the ACL tear was a blessing. I had hesitated to return to elite gymnastics after the 2008 Olympics. I told myself I had already accomplished so much, and the road was just going to get harder if I continued.

I think it's important for girls at a young age to be involved in as many things as possible. Especially safe communities of people that teach them great life lessons like self-confidence and courage. And getting girls to go to camp especially in the summer where they can meet new friends, learn new things, and not just sit at home and watch TV.
