Shawn Johnson
  • 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.

  • The body is an amazing machine... If you eat the right things your body will perform incredibly well!

  • I pay attention to my diet to be a healthier gymnast, but I'm not obsessive over it.

  • I had a constant fear, a constant little doubt in my mind: 'OK, I'm getting ready to do my standing back full on beam and I might re-tear my ACL.'

  • I'm doing four hours of gymnastics training a day, six days a week and then an extra two to three hours in a fitness center as well.
