People only see gymnastics on TV and in the Olympics at such an extreme. So it can be intimidating.
People put too much emphasis on looks.
I don't want to be all power and muscle.
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.
Everybody sacrifices something in an attempt to reach what they think society wants.
I don't call them sacrifices. I call them exchanges.
