I Don't Call Them Sacrifices. I Call

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

I Was Always Known As That Stocky, Muscular, Powerful, Short, Athlete. People Always Wondered If I Was On Steroids, And It Was Because I Wasn't That Long And Lean, Flexible, Artistic Gymnast. It Didn't Affect Me Too Much But It Got To The Point Where I Tried To Be That Long And Lean Gymnast, And It Just Wasn't Possible.

I Think It's Important For Girls At A Young Age To Be Involved In As Many Things As Possible. Especially Safe Communities Of People That Teach Them Great Life Lessons Like Self-confidence And Courage. And Getting Girls To Go To Camp Especially In The Summer Where They Can Meet New Friends, Learn New Things, And Not Just Sit At Home And Watch Tv.

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.

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