You hit one level of the sport, and then you want to get to the next level. Until, eventually, the Olympics becomes part of that dream, part of that goal set and the mindset of wanting to get there. And then you realize there's so much incredible hard work and determination and effort that you need to put in along the way.

When I was young, all I wanted to do was to compete, have fun and travel.
either learn people screw trust
You try and learn from some people's mistakes. But you have to really trust the people who are working for you because they make a lot of decisions that could either do well for you or really screw up your image.
Everyone has emotions; you just learn to use then and be comfortable with them.
deserved guys happens people score three
A team championship doesn't happen because three people score 10s, it happens because all the guys score well. In my opinion, everyone deserved 10s, we're all 10s on this team.

I have to feel good about what I'm endorsing because I have to live with it.

If you do a scene the right way, you can go home at the end of the day and really feel like you accomplished something.
