To Have Any Doubt In Your Body

Something My Mom Taught Me When I Was Little Is That Everything Happens For A Reason.

People Only See Gymnastics On Tv And In The Olympics At Such An Extreme. So It Can Be Intimidating.

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 Started From Zero And Went Back To The Basics In Gymnastics.

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.
