I've been on every type of nutrition plan you can think of.

I'm a squat person: I love squats. I love back squats, things like that.

I went to college, George Washington University, and played softball there. I also played professionally but with the real goal of being an Olympian and making the Olympic team.

Anytime you hit a curve, or you hit on the side of the wall, you hit against the side of the sled. We're taking four to five, sometimes six or seven Gs on our body every time we go down the track. And then the crashing.

I love this sport, and I want people to have the opportunities that I have. I want the kid in the inner city to know that she can be a bobsledder one day, and I want the kid in the middle of Africa to know that she can be a bobsledder one day. So the more that we can go out there and grow the sport, the better.

I don't put limits on anybody.

I'll do whatever I need to do to bring more athletes to the sport.

Most people watch a game because they're excited about it; I'll sit there and watch lacrosse championships to try to find a female who could be a bobsledder.

I converted from softball. We've got volleyball, we've got track and field. Athletes come from anywhere and then convert into bobsled.

I don't like cold weather.

Oh my gosh, cheat meals I could go on and on about.

After the situation I had with my concussion in 2015, how long and lasting the effects were, I'm just more careful about it.

Making the transition from softball to bobsleigh was difficult, but my family and friends believed in me when no one else would.

Bobsleigh is best for athletes who are fast and strong, which were my strengths in softball.

I was a shortstop in softball, and a lot of times I had collisions with base runners coming in, so I definitely have scars.

I played all kinds of sports growing up: soccer, basketball, track. You name it, I've probably played it.

After giving up softball, I didn't know what I was going to do. I thought I would try bobsled, but I wasn't really sure what would happen. I thought my athletic career was over.

I'm not sure I'll ever love softball as much as bobsled. It's like having children: you don't love one more than the other, you just love them differently, and that's how my love for softball is vs. my love of bobsled - two totally different sports with different personalities.

I've been in plenty of crashes! Some are not too bad - resulting in ice burn. Others are pretty rough, and sometimes - rarely, but sometimes - people do get seriously injured. It's a risk we all know of and accept. If you bobsled, you're going to crash - guaranteed.

I've always been the type willing to try a lot of different things.

Being southern and doing bobsled was difficult from the standpoint that I had no idea how to handle the cold and how to dress in the cold, let alone warm up and compete in the cold - so it was a definite shock. I didn't even own a coat when I first started bobsledding!

I made driving mistakes in Sochi that cost me gold, and I'll torture myself for the rest of my life about that!

Bobsled boils down to three things - your equipment, start, and drive. To win the Olympics requires all three.

When bobsled is going right - and it sometimes goes wrong - it's the closest thing I could imagine to being a superhero.
