To Have Any Doubt In Your Body

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 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.

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

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.

Gymnastics Is So Complex.
