It's about stepping up on the big stage. The athlete who can do that is goig to do well.

I'm calm and focused and I can't wait for the biggest sport event in the World to begin.

Too many athletes don't have the ability to set a goal and then carefully go towards it.

As athletes, we have ups and downs. Unfortunately, you can't pick the days they come on.

Teaching kids about health and fitness is important to me. It's about being fit for life.

There will always be something to strive for. My hope is for the heart to strive forever.
