I Know How Much More

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.

It Might Have Been Easier To Retire, To Say My Knee Couldn't Handle It And Let That Be That. At The Same Time, The Prospect Of Not Being Able To Compete In Gymnastics Anymore Was Heartbreaking.

Everything Is About Your Movements And Precision And Timing, Which Is What Gymnastics Is About.

I Fell In Love With Gymnastics. I Love What I Do Now. I Work With People That I Love To Be Around. Success Comes From That.

I Was Always Trying To Be Leaner And Thinner To Fit The Standard And The Mold.
