I've realized how precious life is. When I was younger, I was more adventurous. I felt invincible. I was game for everything. As a mom, I don't want to get injured because then I can't take care of my kids.
From Kristi Yamaguchi
I never wanted to feel I hadn't worked hard enough.
I always try to start out with some type of goal. Then I work backward and think of what I need to do to get there, and give myself smaller goals that are more immediate.
I don't know how many people really knew who I was before the Olympics and that's the fun thing of the Olympics - you get to know someone who captures your heart, hopefully.
I'd try to channel my nervous energy in a positive way into strength and endurance. It didn't always work.
Winning in women's singles felt surreal. I felt that everything I had done - the hard work, the tough times - was all worth it.
