asking came lately since trying
Since I came here, I've been lost, ... I am not asking for a handout, I just need some help. And that's what I've been trying to get lately - help.
american-athlete best
I think we're all really strong and we just need to keep working really hard. If we go out there and do our best we'll win again. All we need to do is hit.
american-athlete meet showing
Well, it's still another two-day competition, so it's really important to show that you're ready. Every meet is really important right now. You've got to keep showing you can hit.
american-athlete
I thought I had gotten second, but I didn't, so I was really happy.
american-athlete good helps
I think it helps me. You know, I've got two more meets under my belt, and that's always a good thing.
people
People only know me as being a gymnast. It's kind of scary.
american-athlete course
The only thing I really, really want is for the U.S. to win again. Just to win another team gold. And, of course I would really want to win an all-around gold.
american-athlete gym work
You know, I don't even really remember. I think he just said, 'Good job. Now we're going to get back in the gym and work for Trials.'
american-athlete
Well, first I have to make the team, of course.
american-athlete feels good
Yep, my body is doing good and everything feels good and I'm ready.
american-athlete guess
I guess I'm kind of used to it because it's always been that way for me.
american-athlete bad best good life meet picking
If they did it like they did it in '96 or whenever, just picking it from one meet, what if someone had the meet of their life but they're not usually a good competitor? That could be really bad for the team. So, I think this is the best way.
feeling time watching
Every time I come to a meet, it makes me want to get out there, ... Today, watching the juniors, I was like, 'Uh-huh, I'm feeling it.'
american-athlete competing good higher trials value wants
She said I did good and I think she was happy with what I did. She just wants me to get my higher Start Value vault, which I'll be competing at Trials and, hopefully, the Olympics.
