Of Course, When You're Training

Everybody Sacrifices Something In An Attempt To Reach What They Think Society Wants.

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 Live For Pilates Reformer Class. I Go At Least Three Times A Week. It's A Great Way To Lengthen Your Muscles, Stretch, And Kind Of Relax Your Mind.

I Had A Constant Fear, A Constant Little Doubt In My Mind: 'ok, I'm Getting Ready To Do My Standing Back Full On Beam And I Might Re-tear My Acl.'

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.
