For the past fourteen years, it's been my job to push past my boundaries and do things I never thought I could do, which is why it's been such a fulfilling career.

Imagine if the whole point of this experience on planet Earth was to just open ourselves up more fully to who we really are, without filters, without masks, without any restrictions.

Every single one of us has the unique opportunity to create awareness and influence change

I'm fearful when I push myself. It's a tough thing to do, but you need to acknowledge that you have what it takes to succeed.

Eat lots of fresh vegetables, drink water, exercise often, and meditate daily.

I didn't know how I was going to get to the Olympics, and in the beginning, I didn't really care. And that was the best part, because my desire exposed me to so many different sports, and in all of them, I always dedicated my best effort because I knew that's what it was going to take to become an Olympian.

Imagine if you could never fail.

Imagine if the mistakes we made actually helped us to just become better versions of ourselves. I believe this is what life is about, and when we look at it this way, then there is nothing to be afraid of!
