Gymnastics Is Not Only A Good Thing

In Some Ways The Acl Tear Was A Blessing. I Had Hesitated To Return To Elite Gymnastics After The 2008 Olympics. I Told Myself I Had Already Accomplished So Much, And The Road Was Just Going To Get Harder If I Continued.

I Always Have Someone To Look Up To, And I Think It Helps Me With Motivating Myself.

That's The Drama Of Our Sport. Our Margin Of Error Is So Small That Anything Can Happen.

As Long As You've Done Your Best, Making Mistakes Doesn't Matter. You And I Are Human; We Will Mess Up. What Counts Is Learning From Your Mistakes And Getting Back Up When Life Has Knocked You Down.

In 2008 I Didn't Take It All In Enough. I Was So Wrapped Up In Just The Competition That I Missed What Was Going On Around Me. If I Am Given That Opportunity Again To Go To The Olympics And Be An Athlete I Want To Take It All In Because I Feel Like This Is My Last Shot And I Want To Feel The Team Spirit. I Want To Really Live And Breathe The Usa.
