I'm very Type A; I like to get my list done.
I never went to my high school dance, and didn't date much.
I think sports are extremely beneficial for our youth. They parallel life in so many ways.
My entire adolescence was geared toward one thing: gymnastics.
You always dream of going to the Olympics and winning gold. I've learned over the years that there are lots of gold medals, but certain stories stick out and make a difference.
I think it's just really important for youth today to have a passion and pursue something seriously.
