I started taking gymnastic classes when I was 3 years old.

I'm trying to stay as calm as possible and focus one day at a time, but when reality sets in, I feel everything: anxiety, excitement, nerves, pressure and joy.

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

Everything for me started with my love of the sport. In society we're losing the fun with kids and pushing success on them too hard. Success comes from fun.

Everybody sacrifices something in an attempt to reach what they think society wants.

Image isn't everything, It's what comes from your heart, and what you learn and what you say and how you act that means more than anything.

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.
