Children Possess A Remarkable Amount Of Passion.

Training For The Olympics Was Much Easier Than Balancing My Life Now! When Practice Was Over, There Was Time For Me. But With Four Kids And A Career, I Have No Downtime. When I'm Not On The Road, I Finish My Workday At 2:30 P.m. Then I Pick The Kids Up From School And They Get 100 Percent Mommy, Not Part Mommy And Part Mary Lou Retton.

As A Kid, I Was A Pretty Good Little Sprinter.

In The Dressing Room, I Always Put On My Right Shoe First. Same Thing For My Right Wristband.

You've Got To Believe In Yourself First. Take Risks And Don't Be Afraid To Fall.

I'm Very Determined And Stubborn. There's A Desire In Me That Makes Me Want To Do More And More, And To Do It Right. Each One Of Us Has A Fire In Our Heart For Something. It's Our Goal In Life To Find It And To Keep It Lit.
