Injury Taught Me I Need To Learn

I Get Less And Less Sleep These Days, So When I Have Any Down Time All I Want To Do Is Sleep!

I Missed Being Considered An Athlete And Having That Competitive Drive, And Missed Having Something To Work For Every Day. I'd Taken Two And A Half Years Away From The Sport And Was Out Of Shape. I Wanted To Get Back To Where I Was In 2008.

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.

Staying Healthy And Consistent Is Paramount.

To Finish Off This Whole Olympics By Finally Getting The Gold Medal, It's The Best Feeling In The World.
