Just because your friend does it, doesn't mean you have to. Be a leader, not a follower. ↗

Do not sit next to my mother when she is watching one of her children compete because you will have fingernails down your back. She is a nervous wreck. ↗

It is pretty amazing. My parents, who came from Nicaragua to the U.S. - who would have thought that they would have American kids on the Olympic team? I think that's the epitome of the Olympic dream. ↗

My parents sacrificed so much for all of us. It makes me want to give back to them by being the best I can be. ↗

When I tell people I'm going to the Olympics, they're like: 'What do you do, track and field? Pole vault? Are you a volleyball player?' No one ever guesses tae kwon do. ↗

You know, me winning two gold medals, going for a third one, that's nice. But being there with Mark and my sister, and my brother being the coach, it's a dream come true. It's going to be awesome. ↗
