We don’t have a World Series or a Super Bowl, so to be able to come home with a gold medal is amazing. I want to do it again in four more years.

What’s not to love about us! People got to know Misty and me in Athens. We’ve continued to be successful and continued to connect with the fans. I promise we’re going to be tough to get rid of.

And it’s given me great perspective. It makes me really focused and efficient, which – I was focused before I had babies but I wasted a lot of time. Prior to having babies I thought I thought I was so busy and now I realize just how ignorant I was.

At some point you’re like, gosh, this rehab is never going to end, and then all of a sudden I’m full strength and I’m about to go to my first competition. So I feel really great.

When I’m sore, ice is my best friend. It really works. I take omega-3s every day, which helps with inflammation. And I try to eat things that won’t inflame my joints, like fresh fruits and veggies, lean protein, and seafood.

I’m doing mental training as well. So, you know, body, mind, and spirit – everything is being addressed, every single day. Generally I’ll have three training sessions a day.

I take my role as an ambassador for the sport, and as a role model for boys, girls, mommies, daddies – whoever it is – very, very seriously. I know the impact my role models have had in my life, and I’m in a really beautiful position to be able to be that for others.

It’s the best thing in the world, the most challenging thing in the world, being a parent, and one of the first lessons I learned was to ask for help.

You touch every other ball and, if you screw up, you only have one more person to back you up. You can’t go hide in the corner.

It’s not a sprint to get in shape.
