I've never had a teammate competing with me my whole life.

People only see gymnastics on TV and in the Olympics at such an extreme. So it can be intimidating.

I had surgery to repair the ACL in February 2010 and was back in the gym by June, but rushed things too quickly and ended up re-tearing my MCL in September.

Stay strong. Stand up. Have a voice.

I always feel like I'm the young one, I'm the small one.

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

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