Gymnastics taught me everything - life lessons, responsibility and discipline and respect.

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

Hot yoga is the best. When you're in [class], there are no cell phones, no talking, no distractions. You're taking a leave from reality for an hour or so.

Something my mom taught me when I was little is that everything happens for a reason. Retiring was scary and it was tough to give up gymnastics, but so many great opportunities have come from it that I never expected. And those wouldn't have happened had I not accepted my injury as a way to try something new.

If you lose the nerves, you lose the sport.

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

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