To Finish Off This Whole

When I Was 3 My Parents Put Me In Gymnastics Because I Was A Bundle Of Energy And They Just Didn't Know What To Do With Me! They Put Me In A Tots Class And I Just Fell In Love With It.

After 13 Years Of Hard Landings In Gymnastics, One Ski Run Had Delivered The Biggest Injury Of My Career.

Something My Mom Taught Me When I Was Little Is That Everything Happens For A Reason. Retiring Was Scary And It Was Tough To Give Up Gymnastics, But So Many Great Opportunities Have Come From It That I Never Expected. And Those Wouldn't Have Happened Had I Not Accepted My Injury As A Way To Try Something New.

As Long As You've Done Your Best, Making Mistakes Doesn't Matter. You And I Are Human; We Will Mess Up. What Counts Is Learning From Your Mistakes And Getting Back Up When Life Has Knocked You Down.

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.'
