I'm trying to stay as calm as possible and focus one day at a time, but when reality sets in, I feel everything: anxiety, excitement, nerves, pressure and joy.
I have a healthy lifestyle, but there's nothing you can really do to prevent from rolling an ankle or something like that.
Gymnastics taught me everything - life lessons, responsibility and discipline and respect.
Stay strong. Stand up. Have a voice.
Everything is about your movements and precision and timing, which is what gymnastics is about.
