My message is to never quit, never give up. When you have a little trouble here and there, just keep fighting. In the end, it will pay off.
For me going down in history being the first black American to win the gold, I think more colored people are going to start coming to the gymnastics world and say 'okay, anything is possible. If Gabby did it, then I can do it too.'
You want to picture yourself being on top and doing amazing gymnastics.
Gymnastics does take great focus and concentration. What I do is look to my coach. He keeps me focused. And I meditate to get myself confident before the competition floor. That helps keep me focused, too.
I just want to continue with gymnastics because I'm still young and fresh. I think can get some more titles under my belt.
I'd tell any girl who continues to love gymnastics enough to want pursue a college scholarship to keep pushing yourself 100% in the gym every single day.
