I was able to do Classics, the U.S. national championships and the Pan American Games and feel like I improved with each meet, but I was still struggling with a lot of residual pain from the two surgeries.
I love lean meats like chicken, turkey. I'm obsessed with sushi and fish in general. I eat a lot of veggies and hummus.
I usually work out 4 hours a day during the week and 5 to 6 hours on Saturday, with Sundays off.
We're taught at such a young age that you can always be better and that you're never perfect and that you're never good enough.
Stay strong. Stand up. Have a voice.
When I was younger, my coach, Liang Chow, made all the decisions. I would go to the gym for practice, do exactly what Chow told me to do, go home, come back and start all over again. If Chow told me to do 50 squat jumps, I did 50 squat jumps.
