I feel like when there's so much conversation about women's athletics right now, we need to focus on their performance and their skill.

The body is an amazing machine... If you eat the right things your body will perform incredibly well!

If you lose the nerves, you lose the sport.

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.

I don't think I've ever not gotten nervous. When you work so hard for one special day or routine, you want to perform it better than you ever have. We always say at our gym, If you lose the nerves, you lose the sport.

Critique the performance, and respect the hard work put in.

Injury taught me I need to learn how to face challenges.
